Different kind of post today because well, it's Sunday and should be a day of rest.
I started my garden yesterday putting in half a dozen plug flats of flowers and veggies. I start mine and my daughters plants for our gardens and things like onions, celery and leeks as well as many flowers need to be started now and grown under lights before they can go out to the greenhouse in April.
I started my peppers yesterday as well because they take FOREVER to germinate and this way it gives me time to replant if they don't take the first go round, they are more forgiving of an early start than tomatoes are.
I'll start my brassicas in 2 weeks so they are a good size before they go in the garden and my tomatoes middle of April. I had volunteer tomatoes last year that out performed my transplants both in size and yield so I put seeds in last fall as an experiment, should be interesting.
Happy Sunday, stay warm.

Whatever one might think of Donald Trump the man – and it seems millions of Canadians have chosen to hate him – people need to set aside their emotions sufficiently to at least recognize that Trump the President is dead-serious in his foreign policy goals, including or...
