What are yall doing for your garden so far? Going to plant anything different this year?
While it is way too early for me to start the bulk of my vegetable and flower plants, I do start a few things in February, namely celery and parsley. For the second year, I am starting seeds for onion plants and those are growing very well, in fact I will set them outside today for a breath of fresh air. I have had disappointing results with onions over the years. We usually start them from seed in the garden, but they do not get very big. I do not like onion sets due to the very limited, one !, variety available. So two years ago I bought onion plants from my seed vendor. Very, very expensive, and I thought, I can make my own plants! So I did, and it worked kinda well. I did not start enough plants last year.
For the other vegetable plants I start, I usually wait until two weeks AFTER the last possible time to start the plants. I start a couple hundred of the little buggers and it is very labor intensive, so I start the process as close to planting out time as I can.
Hows your plans going?
