It’s seed starting time here in Georgia. I am so excited to be able to have a little garden here but I am trying not to go overboard and plant too much. I have just the two beds. I believe they are about 4 ft. by 4 ft but I haven’t measured they may be larger. I am not good at judging size just by looking. Right now one bed is about half full of dirt and is growing some nice looking kale and one rosemary plant. I hope to get that one more dirt for it this spring and get the other one filled.
Anyway, about the seeds. I bought them from eBay and I have some from Baker Creek as well but the ones I started early were from eBay. I just found the free shipping just way cheaper than any of the seed catalogs. Not exactly as reliable maybe, but I was willing to chance it.
For tomatoes I chose Floradade and Bradley. I mainly just wanted a good determinate variety. I find the indeterminate just way too big. I planted 8 of each. I know that will be too many but some probably will end up in some planters I have. For peppers I planted just 4 of a white bell pepper and 4 ofrom seeds from a grocery store pepper. My daughter got some great peppers from a grocery store pepper last year and I wanted to try just for fun. I also have two of a white pattypan squash and 2 of a yellow crookneck squash. Probably too early to start those but I had 4 squares to fill. And the last set has seeds from my Easter cactus house plant. Also just an experiment. I have never grown one from seeds.
They all just sit on a shelf under a grow light and we’ll see how it goes.
