THE OFFICIAL GARDENING AND PRESERVING CHALLENGE

[FarmerJamie]

that stinks.

I'm planning on getting the seed box out tomorrow afternoon and do a final review of what seeds I have and what seeds I ordered. I'll be ready.

I stopped at out local Big Lots yesterday. I bought a seeding tray with plastic dome lid. I have a ton of those little peat pots. I am going to use a mix of commercial seed starting mix and some nice compost from the garden. Today I would like to start some tomatoes, bells, maybe pumpkins, squash ????

I don't know I just need to see how many little pots I have.

I put them all on my laundry room counter. There is a lot of sun and the room stays warm from laundry and a southern exposure. We'll see how it goes.

I have about 2 lbs of dried black beans that never got canned last fall. I just set about 6 of them to start soaking - I'm going to see if they are viable and will sprout. Hopefully they will, so I don't have to buy any more bean seed.

I am well into the growing season. But I have mustard and cress to start sprouting for greens, as well as other odds and ends. I just filled up a couple pots with seed starter, but haven't gotten that far with them. It's hot today.

ugh... my green thumb is getting the better of me and i'm dying to go to moms house and get my little plastic dome seed starters... i'm seriously thinking about walking over ... but it's like 4.5 miles.... with plenty of hills and snow... :/

Any updates anyone?

My viability sprouting exercise is a success! All seven beans have sprouted!!!

Now I need to calculate the linear footage I can plant with the beans I have....

Does this count as GARDENING!!!!!! It was 9F here this morning
