I wish I had an area as big as we had when I was growing up on the farm. We had over an acre for the main garden and a couple of smaller acres for potatoes and fruit trees. We never ran out of fresh veggies.

I started most of my plants from seed in January. I've saved 4” containers from years past and use them to start my seedlings in a mixture of potting soil and compost. My neighbor gave me about 75 onion plants of various varieties that he had left. That just about filled up my small garden spaces.

I ordered seed catalogs from Diana's site about two years ago. I still have a few seeds I got from that site.

smaller acres = smaller areas

Since I have such a small area, I bought plants that were about 4 inches high each - except for the peppers - those I started from seed in February - I will know next year to start even earlier though.
