I purchased most of my seeds at the beginning of the year back in January in order to get ahead and not have to worry about them now or during the springtime. There are a few things that I have not purchased such as bulbs which I will get on April 1 or somewhere near this date. I am also hoping to get some plants such as raspberries and maybe grapes to plant this year.
(more…)It is now 2014 and the beginning of a new season for any gardener. Even though some areas are not quite ready to begin planting I always start preparing for the coming months just prior to planting. Since I live in zone 6 I don’t have to worry about planting for a couple of months. The first thing I do on January 1st is get a list of all the seeds that I have currently from the previous year or years.
It’s good to write down all the vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc. that you plan on growing. Once you write down everything that you plan on growing then check off the different seeds that you already have. If this is your first time growing you can just ignore this step as you will probably not have many if any seeds lying around. (more…)
