I'm sorry Susan! I didn't realize that wasn't what you wanted...might need better glasses. lol. I use this one all the time (well, the one at the bottom. Wish you could do more than one link at a time): Oh, and I absolutely love this one: http://www.chestnut-sw.com/seeds/herbseed.htm And there's even a grow guide to tell you what veg you should be starting when. It's the coolest thing - I play with it constantly! lol, nothing like software telling you what you're suppose to be doing today! http://www.chestnut-sw.com/growform.htm Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Seed Germination Database

Just a reminder of Zone 5 planting dates if your last day of frost is May long weekend. Cheers, Peggy

Ken, Awesome pictures! My favorite ones above are Ebb Tide & Manhattan! I gotta get out there with my camera. My Blue Angel was up about 6" til I fell...boo hoo! I stepped right on it...CRUNCH! It's okay...I have another, even bigger one in another spot. Very slight slope but, Gee Whiz! Do I need to use a cane out there? LOL...well, now I am...I was mad at myself at the time...oh, well. More pictures, please!!! Char

I start indoor annuals early and it depends on what they are. -Hot peppers were started a couple weeks ago -Sweet peppers are being started this coming weekend -Tomatoes will be started mid March. Some will say too early but it's been working for me for years. -Annual flowers - now starting things like impatiens, coleus, pentas and a few others that are slow growing for me. I'll keep at sowing other annuals, a few each week, until about mid April or till I run out of vareities I want to start. I'm lucky to have a room dedicated to seed growing, a small harbor frieght greenhouse to put them in come April. I do all my perennials via wintersowing!! Sandy
