In theory, today is 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, and the moon is good for planting the garden annuals.
I have all my stuff; pots and soil mix, seeds etc. Just gotta get the energy to get up outta the chair and get going. Note it's noon here now.
The artichokes, onions and eggplant are already in under the lights and growing on nicely, along with the sweet potato chittings.
Now is time for the tomatoes, peppers, broccoli and basil.
Along with the early companions; marigolds, old-fashioned petunias (the kind that don't melt in the rain,) borage, hyssop and whatever else fits after that.
The seed potatoes arrived in the mail today but I still have 2' of snow out there with another snow expected Wednesday. I suppose I could still set them out to chit as they should be planted in a couple weeks. Might have to go out and shovel off the places where the wooden boxes set and maybe see if the compost is thawed enough to move and at least get that part done too.
