I’m getting ready to start the cole crops myself. Probably in the next couple of weeks to set out mid Feb & cover with tarp if it gets below the mid 20’s after that.

I’ll probably start peppers/tomatoes sometime in late January/early Feb.

My saffron crocuses all have little poofies of green at the tops of their stemmy bits right now.

“I’ll probably start peppers/tomatoes sometime in late January/early Feb.”

You know this will be the first “spring” planning I have done. I’ve made a sheet telling me when to start seeds of what and I think I remember the peas, of which I have three varieties, have to be started very early, too, like next week. I’ll need to study that paper as I haven’t looked at it in the few weeks since I made it. Too many veggies on there to remember each one without that paper.

Nice to hear from you. Would you mind telling me a little more about your garden? Do you use raised beds, pots, or just a patch of ground?

I really liked those potatoes and peanuts that you told me about from the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. I’ll be expanding the space for both of those. They both did very well.

Thanks again for that tip and the on-line mega store. Those containers are just what I am looking for, and I had really given up till you mentioned them to Marcella.

It’s too early to plant any thing for transplanting, but I am going to plant a few seeds in Pots to fill in the spaces I have available for growing indoors stuff to eat.
