Beginner’s Guide to Starting Veggies from Seed

by

Mornin’ gardeners!

Our spring garden here is coming along….at a crawl! The seedlings inside are not growing very fast; I think the light from my new growing stand is too weak for them. We’ve also had two unusual freezes during the last week. I usually have a few tomato plants out by now, although covered at night. No brag, just fact! LOL

I realize that a lot of my readers live in places where you can’t garden for a while. I feel for ya’, so dug up this link to a lot of great info. you can be reading in the meantime. On the great *You Grow Girl* website, a complete Beginner’s Guide to Starting Vegetables from Seed chart, more info. than you can shake a stick at, etc. etc. The site is maintained by Gayla Trail, author of the You Grow Girl book (also recommended!).

In the meanwhile, have happy dreams of spring!

dig it!

    I used to have seedlings all over my kitchen counters, but now I just go buy the plants after Memorial Day. Sigh. That’s New England.

    Memorial Day? Wow. I’d go nuts if I had to wait that long.

    Still, it might be worth it to escape the hot summer here.
