I think it was Jeeks that mentioned how many of what plants he wanted to grow this year. For me, that has been one of the hardest things to figure out, how much of what to plant so we actually eat most of what we grow. After 3 decades, I've gotten some what of a grip on it, but it still is a challange.
Three weeks ago I started about 80 onion seedlings from last years seeds. And yesterday I started a flat of 3 different onion seeds, 6 flat leaf parsley plants, and 12 celery plants. The problem I have with onions is that they do not get very large, so this year I started them way early to see if I can't get bigger bulbs this year. For the celery, I do not blanch the plants. I did the very first year I planted celery, but not again, too much trouble/work and no benefit. I use bottom heat on my soon to be seedlings, so I hope to report some new plants soon!
