Seed Starting!
I’ve been wintersowing since February but this past weekend I started my tomatoes and peppers as well as some herbs and shasta daisies in plug trays.
I started 9 of Burpee’s hot pepper mix, 9 roma tomatoes, 12 super sweet 100 tomatoes, 6 shasta daisys, 2 sage, 2 dill, 2 oregano, 2 Thyme and 2 cilantro. Â I’ve only filled about half my seed tray but I’ve got more herbs and some flowers to start a little later.
So far I’ve planted:
- Petunias
- Pansies
- Lupine
- Shasta Daisy
- Black Eyed Susan
- Parsly
- Cilantro
- Sage
- Oregano
- Dill
- Thyme
- Tomatoes (roma and super sweet)
- Mixed hot peppers
And all I have left to plant
- summer squash
- zuccinni
- sugar snap peas
- sweet peas
- Chives
- zinnias (lots and lots and lots of big pink ones!)
- sunflower
- nasturtiums
- Marigolds
I’m planning on planting the flowers in milk jugs in the winter-sowing style in Early April. Â I’m also going to see if the ground is “workable” and see about planting my sweet peas and sugar snap peas as well as all the gladiolus. Â That will probably be a project for next week after daylight savings gives me some after-work sunlight!
Here’s to hoping the cat doesn’t destroy the seed tray before I get home tonight!
