Anyone starting seeds yet
Comments (20)For now I'm just starting brug seeds. I'll start other tropicals later on. Lucy I'm not on bed rest and am slowly getting back to normal. It's just taking a bit longer then I expected. My DS had a HS swim meet that I went to this am but only managed to make it through half. I had great results with germinating the plumeria seeds that you sent. Unfortunately they were one of the things that didn't get watered while I was away so they are all gone : ( The packing peanut germination worked well and I'll use it again but will make sure I use non biodegradeable peanuts! lol Mary I winter sow loads of seeds and love it. I sow very little in the greenhouse anymore. I love just sticking a container of seed outside in Dec (or later) and ignoring it until it's time to transplant. Winter sown seeds are also not affected by damping off which I have a big problem with in the greenhouse. I've learned to sow many fewer seeds when WS because the germination rate is usually very high. The first 2 years I did it I had so many more plants then I needed or could even give away. I finally just started planting them in clumps because there were so many. You can start the more tender annuals and perennials in jugs in March and April....See Moreanyone starting seeds yet?
Comments (14)My impatiens are germinating Woo Hoo! Took 3 1/2 days. 600 plants total, from my own seed stock that I harvested. (I always play it safe when harvesting so I have thousands of extra seeds left over if anyone wants some - not too late to start them. Email me if interested, but act soon.) I haven't purchased impatiens seeds for six years now. I also have seeded 100 misc. hot peppers, 100 misc. early herbs for containers, 50 misc. eggplant, along with celery, celeriac, parsley root, leek, and early tomatoes for container growing. None of these are germinating yet that I am aware of, but most were only planted two or three days ago. Shouldn't be too long for most of them, though. Next up today is to seed some early cabbage, cauli, and broccoli for the spring garden, along with cotton, ornamental alliums, and other miscellaneous perennial flowers. Then I will have a breather for a couple of weeks before starting tomatoes, sweet peppers, and common annual bedding flowers such as petunias, marigolds, coleus, etc. I caught the spring fever badly now that I have the smell of wet soil in my nostrils. :)...See MoreAnyone have a seed starting schedule for Spring in Zone 6?

Comments (111)Megan, Congrats on the little sprouts! My first pepper sprout was a "Biker Billy" jalapeno, and he beat every other pepper plant by two days. With a name like Biker Billy, you expect to be "first", I guess. I grow hundreds more tomato plants than I need to grow as well, but never have any trouble giving away the extras. Some of them go to friends in her our neighborhood and others go to work so Tim can share them with his coworkers, but many of them make the trek to OKC in April for the Spring Fling. I had potted up most of the tomatoes from my first round of seedstarting and those are the ones basking out in the sun today. Yesterday I potted up the rest from that round, and today I started seeds for the second round. It always freaks out people who stop by the house for one reason or another in the early spring and see hundreds of cups of seedlings lined up on the patio, on tables, on the sunporch, etc. It is fun to have extras so I can say "would you like some plants?" My poor little plants were shivering in the cold wind when the cold front came through at mid-morning but now that the front, the clouds and the heavy wind have passed, they're sunning themselves and enjoying a beautiful afternoon. Now, if only the soil temps and air temps will hurry up and get to the right level so we can plant them in the ground! Dawn...See Moresultry_jasmine_nights (Florida-9a-ish)
