Garden 2018: Seedlings

We started our tomato seedlings inside about three weeks ago. We also started, cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash and broccoli in small peat pots about a week ago. It is not to late to plant these.

The best advise I can give you is to not worry about the science of gardening, just get the seeds into the dirt, keep the seedlings moist and warm until they sprout and then water on a schedule, to allow the seedlings to dry out a bit between watering, and add dirt as they grow. We have a small greenhouse (purchased on Amazon) that allows us to keep the seedlings inside at a sunny window and protected from predators (aka Pekoe the cat). Note Tomato plants are poisonous to cats.

If you have the space in the yard or in a large container, this is the time to plant peas outside. We expect our first harvest this spring to be our peas. Tasty peas are a good reward at the brink of the garden season.

Last year we had strong tomato plants from seed shown here:
