planting seeds

planting seeds 016 planting seeds 018 planting seeds 021 planting seeds 023 I spread a towel on the living room floor tonight and planted a tray of seeds. Skippy kept his eye on the project. I planted broccoli, kale, lettuce, endive, radicchio, and eggplant. (I need to order my potatoes too. I've decided on just two varieties this year: Russet Burbank and German Butterball from FEDCO Moose Tubers.)

Did Skippy help you? :) My cats are always doing more harm than good when I'm planting or sowing.

Happy Spring-almost!

We once had a duck that loved to be there when we dug and turned the beds. She liked gobbling up the grubs from June beetles and Apple Borer Beetles.

Best of luck this year!

Have been thinking about doing radicchio this year. Happy sprouting!

Yes, Skippy likes to step on the trays and cause problems.... He tries to wiggle his way into what I am doing and get attention. He looks good here because he is posing to get a treat.

Seeds are easier to start indoors than outdoors. You can more easily provide the perfect conditions for hard-to-germinate or very small seeds, including the ideal temperature, moisture, and fertility.

Dogs as well as cats are always doing more harm than good when it comes to gardening.
