Seedlings Hatching

Spring has sprung…in my kitchen that is! Over the weekend I notice a few seeds have hatched. Looks like chard, cauliflower and broccoli. I love when sprouts appear and the little anxiety of something not growing disappears.

Last night I also planted onions, a few tomatoes, and peppers. Peppers always seem to take a while to sprout so don’t be concerned if two weeks go by without movement.

Currently, this is what is growing:

• Cauliflower: 4 plants
• Broccoli: 4 plants
• Bell Peppers: 6 plants
  (I love peppers though!)
• Hot Peppers: 4 plants
• Onions: 40
  (I love onions too!)
• Tomatoes: 7
  (This includes all the varieties)
• Leeks: 5
  (I don’t need a ton)
• Kale: 2
• Chard: 2
• Peas: 4 packets

Just a note on onions- I add around 20 seeds per cell because they are easy to split and it saves tons of space!

 

I realized the big 50% seed sale at Smith’s was this past weekend! I hope some of you could take advantage of the deals. If not, here are a few coupon codes for Burpees Seeds.

15 % off $75	RMN1575
$10 off $50 or more	BSTEN
$5 off $30 or more	FC53

I’m also creating a list complete list of when I plant (indoor/outdoor) and when I transplant for all those interested. I’m almost done and will post it soon, but for now here is the schedule this week. I’d love some feedback to make it user friendly. The seeds I’m planting are added to this list but really just focus on the plant variety. I HIGHLY recommend splitting seeds with a friend or family member because you don’t need twenty tomato plants!

Here is my schedule this week:

This week my goal is to post information about creating good soil, the benefits of square foot vs. traditional vs. portage gardening, and how to plan a garden. I feel that if I post a deadline I’ll have more pressure to get ‘er done. 

Kisses!
