Season starters
It was a brisk and blustery weekend on NCR, but spring is in the air. Or at least in the basement. I got the first seeds planted on Saturday. Rosemary, snapdragons, celosia and sage. These seeds either take forever to germinate, or grow so slowly it can take 10-12 weeks before they are ready to go into cold frames or the open garden. May 15 is figurartively around the corner. I also ordered a few more odds and ends to complete my first "caterpillar tunnel". I'm hoping for extra early tomatoes and peppers this year. It's a far cry from having all the parts to constructing the tunnel in the middle of the srping rush, but I'm committed to the idea this year. I also have to construct another table to grow on the seeds I am starting now, since the peppers, other flowers and eventually the tomatoes will demand the limited space on the heat mat in the basement.
