On Feb. 24 I started tomatoes, parsley and celery. They are all sprouting!
The parsley and celery are in the larger containers in the middle of the picture and are a little hard to see. They took forever but have started showing green the last couple of days.
I still need to start peppers, tomatillos and the alpine strawberries I just bought mere moments ago. Oh, and Green Zebra tomatoes as well. I'll buy plants for bulb onions. For everything else, I will plant the seeds out side (I think) .
And speaking of buying more seeds... I just can't seem to help myself. In the past few days I bought:
- Purple Tomatillos (like the green ones I had aren't good enough.)
- Green Zebra tomatoes (Been looking for "Aunt Ruby's Green German", but I'll give these a try.)
- Alpine strawberries (Been looking for these for a while.)
- Swiss Chard - Neon Lights (How many kinds of chard does a gardener need?)
- Blue Flax (What I meant to buy when I bought Forget-me-nots.)
- Radish - Salad Rose (Because every garden needs a hundred kind of radishes. Okay, 5 kinds.)
- Onion - Evergreen bunching (Because I keep forgetting I already have seeds for these - this makes 4 packages.)
- Watermelon - Moon & Stars (Never mind, that I don't have room for these. And, If I actually get a crop how am I going to get a 40 lb watermelon into my fridge?)
All I need now is for us to quit having record cold temperatures and I can start gardening!
For heaven's sake, will somebody stop me? I just planted 45 tomato seeds tonight (15 varieties) and still have two more varieties to go! I have become a seed junkie...I need intervention!
