The Seeds Of Today

Well, I've been pretty busy the past few weeks. March 15 is the day I start planting the bulk of my vegetable seeds indoors, and March 31 is the day I try to be finished.


I've got everything but the Zucchini, Sunflowers, and Cucumbers planted, so that's not too bad.


It's not like planting seeds is the only thing I have going on in my life!

I like to use a good quality potting soil.


Crappy potting soil is just all rocks and twigs.


Kale, Kohlrabi, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussel's Sprouts, Fennel, Swiss Chard, Basil, Dill, and another round of Tomatoes were planted mid March. Lettuce, Spinach and Parsley were planted late March.


All of the seeds planted in February are up and have been transplanted into bigger pots

Cilantro and Celery...
.

Bunching Onions and Leeks....


And Tomatoes.


The sunroom smells SO good.....


Like good, clean, dirt!

  2. Your brother would say is smells like good, clean soil. Dirt is what is outside in the yard, flowerbeds, garden, you get the idea. Soil comes from a bag and is good and clean. Just saying. :)
