I don’t have anything planted except garlic and the usual perrenial herbs. I just looked at my sage and it’s three feet high with giant buds. It’s going to be gorgeous when it blooms.
I don’t have sunny windows, grow lights or greenhouse and it’s been unseasonably cold here so I didn’t bother starting anything until a couple of weeks ago.
If I try to do it too early everything dies. Too cold, too much rain, too many snails after it’s in the ground.
So far I have a few little squash, cucumbers, sunflowers, tomatoes and basil trying to grow. Those will have to be moved into bigger start pots.
I planted marigold seeds outside in some cinderblocks, but something keeps eating them as soon as they come up.
I’m trying not to sweat it. I figure as soon as the weather gets warm this stuff will shoot up if I can keep it alive.
We rent and there isn’t much room here. I’ll admit that I’ve just never been good at this to begin with.

I don’t do much in the way of starts. I prefer to plant in the soil out doors when the weather is nice.
There may come a day when I need to do starts in order to get more food to harvest, but that day is not yet here in my opinion.
I bought a Jump Start lighting system in 2010. It has an efficient full spectrum bulb that I use for my indoor winter plants. It just now burned out. Will have to track down a replacement bulb. Still pretty cheap for growing just a few things. It’s only 2 foot long.
Beautiful day, here in southern New Hampshire. Our new bee colony seems to be well-established.
I raked the bog filter and moved the muck to my garden.
Yesterday, I found a Model 33 tiller for my John Deere, and went to pick it up. It needs from TLC, but I hope to get it working for the spring planting.
