I will be starting this week sometime. Last yr I was paying 12-15 $ for flats, just to much. Have my own soil and plenty of plastic starters so this yr I will do my own.
A few different kinds of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant. Most everything else starts outside.
It probably would be if this eas an average year, HG has an indoor greenhouse that we start our onions, peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli in. I haven't cleaned the window area for him to put it up yet. :tounge:
I'll be starting mine when we get back week after next... I'll get my herbs, veggies started and the second I can start the dirt I'll be plumping it up and planting potatoes.. New raised beds going in this year,,,, cant wait.

The last few yrs I've been planting sweet potatoes here at home and they have been awesome. Up on another piece of property we planted the little red potatoes and we just finished them a few weeks ago. :thumbsup:
For years, I've tried to start my own, only to have thin spindly shoots, or planted them too soon or too late. Always a disaster.
Finally. Last year. I started them. Got great growth. Everything was going good.
Then my friggin cat got into them, ruined them all.
Never again. I'll pay our local greenhouse for now on.

Our cat (one of them) likes our onion shoots and broccoli seedlings. Every year she requires an "attitude adjustment" when she treats the greenhouse as her salad bar. :cursing:
my cat,,is not allowed anywhere near my new ones..... I also keep lots of wheat grass around for him... He pretty much stays away from stuff if theres growing wheat grass....
I have my tarragon and thyme sprouting,,, very nice to see them pop. Now for the green and red peppers, tomatoes, artichokes and a few other things......
Anybody else getting any sprouts yet? :smile:
Oh it is good then now you can do your work early.
