Starting potted garden-help?

louisvillebride21

Hi all. 

 I'm not exaggerating when I say I kill EVERYTHING I plant. I've never kept anything alive long enough to get any product. I came very close with my tomatos last year, but a damn bird got to it.  And only 2 tomatos came out.

 

ANYWAY. We're moving to a house within the next month or two and I thought i might like to start some potted veggies. We have a nice big deck, but no room to plant anything in the ground due to a sloped yard. I'm thinking of buying this big emergency kit seed box from Costco and one of those seed starter pod sets from HD. Am I too late to start seeds? We will have a great bay window ledge to put the pods to germinate.

If you're new to veggies and have bad luck, do not start from seed. You'll fail and get discouraged. Buy some transplants from a local farmer's market or from HD (more $) of what you want to grow. You're in zone 6 so I wouldn't put anything in a pot outside until end of April. GL!!

You're not too late, but seed kits rarely work out for me. Basil is really hardy and rosemary can grow from one little sprig - you could get some in the supermarket already grown and plant the roots in a pot, trim them a bit and I'm sure they'll flourish.
