For the past few weeks my spring fever has reached new heights after lying in wait all winter. I've been out and about looking at all things garden and garden centers. Most are meager pickings as I'm sure they don't anticipate a whole bunch of people coming in at the beginning of March demanding to know what they have in stock for vertical growing. But I have found some things. I've picked up some 6 foot tall bamboo poles of varying thickness. I purchased some chicken wire fencing for a few different projects. I've also picked out a few seed packets that were forgotten about in my original order of seeds from companies like Johnny Seeds and Seed Saver Exchange.
On Saturday, I planted the first seeds of the season in containers to go into the garden window where I have previously sprouted all of my other seeds. The seeds that are now started include:
2 different kinds of onions (Green bunching onion and a Mini Red Purplette onion)
True Lavender
Rosemary
Parris Island Cos Lettuce
Di Cicco Brocolli
Multi Colored Cauliflower packet mix
White Snow Crown Cauliflower
This is what they look like on an overcast rainy/snowy day. Doesn't instill much confidence in the sun they'll need to get but I promise this has worked before on much more sun loving plants.
Every week I'll be either putting something into the garden or into starters and I'll upload a picture or two for your amusement/critique.
What seeds have you started already? Or, if you haven't started yet, what seeds are you looking to start first?
