The start of my garden

Tweet

I live in Minnesota and our average last frost day is late April. So a lot of plants for my garden need to be started indoors then planted outside once the threat of frost has passed. I start the seeds usually mid March. Well tonight I did just that. These are my starter seeds. I have 12 Big Boy tomato plants started, 12 banana peppers as well, and also 12 green bell peppers. I have one large tomoato that was started by seeds from a store bought tomato late fall and it is getting tall. I hope it bears some tomatoes this spring. I also have a discussion started about the small yogurt cup shown in this picture as well. They are store bought cantelope seeds we saved and they have sprouted. I will have more things planted in my garden once the nursery carries them after the frost threat passes. I will have zucchini, cukes, onions, cherry and or grape tomatoes, corn, and possibly some others but have yet to decide or plan an area for any more. So have you started seeds indoor for gardens? Or do you just buy plants already growing and plant them? I do both each year. I buy large grape and or cheey tomato plants, zuchinni, and cukes in May and plant them outdoors. Attatched is a photo of the mentioned seeds I have started. I have a lamp shining on them as the window gets chilly at nights. They are sitting in my dining room window which gets the warm morning sun for about 3 or 4 hours a day. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
