“In the day you will make your plant to grow, and in the morning you will make your seed to flourish.” Isaiah 17:11
I have all my garden seeds ordered. Today I am starting a tray of seeds. I am trying something different this year and starting my own onions. I usually buy onion sets, but have heard the plants do much better in our area. We are in zone 3 so have a very short growing season and have to make the most of it. So, I will be starting seeds and hoping they will be just the right size plants when it is time. I also ordered onion plants which will arrive at planting time, will be a nice comparison!
I am starting onions, asparagus and strawberries. I like using the Jiffy starter sets, I have had the best luck with them. There are so many ways to start seeds this is just one that I’ve had success with. I place the tray on a heat mat under my grow lights which are on a timer for 16 hours of light.
I just make a simple chart of what is planted where for easy identification. I will replant in about a week if anything hasn’t popped up. I put my chart in a plastic sleeve in case of a water spill, I have had ink disappear.
