“A good gardener always plants 3 seeds – one for the bugs, one for the weather and one for himself.” ….Leo Aikman
The very first sprouts are the ones that give you hope, hope that all those seeds will sprout and grow.
It always takes me awhile to get started. I ponder over what I want to plant, where I am going plant it and how much I need to plant for a great harvest. You Tube link below!

Some of the products and techniques I use have evolved over time. I finally bought some well made, sturdy Bootstrap Farmer 1020 Trays. I got really tired of having the cheap, big box trays fall apart every year, the biggest problem being leakage, usually in the corners of the trays. Seedling heat mats are another very good idea. The above seeds sprouted in less than two days. Wow! Love it!
I am planting a larger variety of plants this year and most of them will be things I have started at home. I no longer can afford the big box seed starts. I could go broke easily.
I am increasing the herbal things I plant as well.
