Anyone starting seeds this winter? I'm torn... I hope to be moving this summer, and it might be difficult to start them when we should have a spic and span no clutter house to show. Still, we have the zinnia seeds, and I'm pretty sure doing tomatoes may have helped me combat the winter blues in the past.
What are you doing? Have you started?

Re: seed starting pals
I'm not doing them this year. I took last year off too. I love having a winter activity that gets me excited for spring and summer, but it's soooo easy to just go to Country Side Greenhouse in Allendale and pay $1 for for a vegatable plant or $5.99 for a flat of 36 annuals.
I want to be a seed starter! We really, really want a better garden this year, and I'm a terrible procrastinator.
What should I be starting, and when?
We want to have beans, tomatoes, melon, peas, ...

You'll have to find out how long it takes for those seeds to germinate, and grow, etc. Like if you want all of your plants in the ground by Memorial Weekend, and it takes 6-8 weeks to get them going, you'll have to go back those number of weeks from Mem weekend to calculate when to start. Not all plants have the same growing time. HTH.
Suppose I should order the seeds and take a look, then... :z Thanks!

Katers, I don't know about melon, but you'll want to start the peas and beans right in the garden as soon as you can work the soil (late March-ish). Consider carrots, and lettuce too (start in the ground) - they're kind of fun to grow.
I'll probably be starting tomatoes next week or the week after. Easy, and C will love watching them grow.
I understand about taking time off KerCo, and just not wanting to be defeated again, Tigers.
I just need the smell of damp soil and the excitement of that first green poking up.
Thanks--I'll get ordering. I thought C would be at the perfect age to help this year, interested and kind of independent.
A fun mommy-son project!
