I am in SWest MO. Got a quick, heavy snow last night. 10 minute flurry and gone.
I am interested in what seeds you are starting in Feb. I have never done starter seeds, but want to this year. Trying to figure a way to do so without a green/hothouse.
Am putting in some raised beds so we can plant a bit earlier. Just have not decided on what to start early.

Starter seeds are fun. I just buy those little pellets that you fill with water. The pellets then expand and you push the seeds down the middle. You then place the clear plastic cover over it (it comes with the pellets) and that works as the greenhouse. Obviously, you need a sunny window.

Never ever buy the Burpee seed starting trays with the dome. It has dried pellets in a tiny starter tray. Most of the pellets won’t rehydrate. The little pot sections are too small and you end up ripping the plants to pieces when trying to get them out. I knew it was a ridiculous purchase last year but I was in full garden mode. Never again. Should have read the reviews at the Burpee site. I’m sticking with the collection of odd recycled free kitchen containers. I see they’ve lowered the price. I wasted $25 on that piece of junk.
