Finally, I started seeds

U are mighty smart. I haven't done a thing probably want. My aunt told me one time i had a brown thumb instead of a green one, lol.

I have not started any seeds yet. My dad bought some un-genetically-modified seeds from a nursery for green beans and a couple other things, they are in a kitchen drawer and I haven't looked at them for a couple months. I guess I should probably start some but it's still snowy here. In the 50's the next couple of days but snow expected by the end of the week. I'm ready for Spring!!!

I have not even thought about a garden yet. It sounds like you will have lots. I like to plant lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, and a few pepper plants. I think I will also do a few cabbage plants this year. I tried cauliflower last year, but that did not go so good.

We haven't really had warm weather and so I have not felt inspired. I almost always buy the plants started already. I do not have a really large garden, but hope to have a bigger one this year. I always have tomatoes and peppers. I want butternut squash too. Each year I hope to get better.

I have never tried starting seeds in the house before, but I live in an area that has a spring and summer that is maybe a little bit longer than yours up in Minnesota. Just the other day my son was looking at some seeds in the grocery store and was asking me about planting a garden this year. We moved into a house with a pretty big fenced in back yard, so we have room for a garden. I am going to have to till the yard to make one from scratch if we do though because it looks like the last renter never bothered with a garden. I think if I do start one it will be back by the garage, so that it is not in the way of the kids playing in the back yard.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, its so nice to see your new seedlings and its nice to know that spring its on its way whne you start plantinng seeds again, thanks for that. Tamara

I have my seeds, and my seed trays and lids and the seed compost all ready, but i haven't started them off yet. It's still very cold here and as I usually put my seed trays in the back bedroom, it's too chilly in there. I'm hoping to start mine off at the end of this month though, so I can have home grown salads and vegetables this year

i have liked to start seeds early but last year my kitty started munching on them so i have to think of a better set up for them, plus we dont have a ton of room either to start them.

Keener.

not yet.i suppose i should get on it. it's still snowing off and on,so i'd been slacking. debating growing catnip this year..though if i do,instead of having most of the neighborhood cats around,i'll probably have all of them LOL more herbs this year i think too.they've gotten ridiculously expensive to buy.

Haven't started yet, but intend to next weekend. I intend to grow the tomatoes, several different types, There is a yellow'tumbler' type , which looks rather good. i did the red version last year which was quite successful. Once again, french beans,radishes and peas. The raspberry canes have survived the hard winter plus the blueberry bushes and redcurrants. Roll on the warmer weather !

You start super early! I wish I could start that early even though you are probably more north than I am. But our last frost isn't until atleast mothers day. I've tried to start seedlings as early as late April and they need to be planted before my hubby ever gets to tilling the garden. *sigh* But I do well with things like beans, sunflowers, radishes, & flowers from seed. We usually end up buying the majority our veggies from a garden center and then I plant a seed or so with some of them. Any advice on the acorn squash? I see you grown them from seed & I think I got one plant last year but it didn't make it thru the summer. :0(

hi Grandpa Bob well it looks like you are going to have an even better' bigger veggie garden this spring, and you are getting a good early'start too. Oh of course you need a pot of cat nip for Baby after all. I wish I had a small plot of ground to grow a few fresh vegetables here but I live in a retirement center now. oh everytime I hear the words acornsquash my mouth waters, we used to bake it with butter and some brown sugar and it was so good. When I was a kid back on the farm in south Dakota we used to raise both acorn and hubbard squash and we sure ate a lot of both og them. The only kind of squash they serve here is zuccini guess they have not heard of the other kinds.

I haven't started my seeds yet, we've had a lot of hard frosts lately so I've been holding out. I have bought lots of seeds and also my seed potatoes which I've started chitting ready for planting in April. I'm a bit short on space in the house and we don't have a greenhouse so a lot of the seeds will have to wait until the weather improves. You can make your own seed tape if you are cheap like me. Use toilet paper and a mixture of water and flour to stick the seeds to it. The paper soon rots away in the soil once it is wet.

My mom is actually in charge for that, but I am the one who purchase the seeds, garden soil, fertilizers and other stuff for gardening. I just ask to do the actual gardening which I think she doesn't mind at all. She loves gardening and she got some orchids too in the front garden. In the side, she got some vegetables, which is very good I think coz sometimes we don't need to buy our tomatoes, beans and other leafy vegetables. It's really cool to have your own garden I think and it's safer as well. Enjoy gardening Grandpa Bob.

I haven't yet... but I really plan some... I went to the sidewalk nearby the mall I found some good seeds their... my only problem I really have no area outside the house... so guess it would work in a flower inside and I will just slip it out every morning for some sun...

Wow you must have big garden, I really interesting in gardening but I don't have place to start, last year I try planting lemon grass in bucket and its growing beautifully.
