It might happen while I'm visiting with my dad this weekend. <br /><br />TM- Thanks! The one thing I forgot to mention, maybe because I forgot to do it, is sometimes it helps to soak your seeds overnight before you plant them. This isn't always necessary, but it is especially helpful with very small, or very hard seeds. There is also a general rule, that mostly, the smaller the seed, the longer it takes to germinate. I'm probably going to have to wait longer to see my celery and broccoli, because I forgot to soak them. I will NOT forget to soak the peppers when I do them next week. There will be a separate process for that, because they are more complicated. <br /><br />Julie- I can't even imagine having my lost frost date in mid February...that would be QUITE different from life here in Iowa.GardenMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583373530917618835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513390826711887432.post-44573672663586511682011-03-09T09:39:01.044-06:002011-03-09T09:39:01.044-06:00Great post.

Some of them are going in the garden late, but at least they'll get there. Have fun and happy gardening!Juliehttp://woodstreetsgardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513390826711887432.post-89436550494295021862011-03-09T00:58:42.060-06:002011-03-09T00:58:42.060-06:00OMGawd, This is such an awesome post.

I want to thank you for that! :) I especially liked the tip about labeling and what to label.<br /><br />Good luck with your starters... Guess I better get moving, I believe we are in the same zone!!

Scary to think about planting those seedlings in a few months when I will barely be able to walk without tipping over! LOL<br /><br />I wonder what will sprout first? No matter what the seed packages say, for me, it's always something random that sprouts first. It befuddled my students when we'd plant in class.Melissa E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01113865084692372656noreply@blogger.com
