a good time to start planting seeds
Now that the sweet potatoes are planted, I think it a good time to start planting some onion seeds. Its only 2 weeks early. My husband found my bags of potting soil in the shed over the weekend and they are thawed out by now. I still need to find the seed trays I saved and run them through the dishwasher. Then I need to locate some labels. If I can't find some little wooden ones from last year, there's usually something plastic in the recycling bin that I can cut into labels.

Hahaha,
Your last frost date is the same as mine, although I generally consider it a week earlier. I planted Leeks and Onions yesterday wondering if I was a couple weeks early, but feeling the need to start.
May the season start well!
Silly question - how do you plant seeds when the ground is still frozen?
Hey Robin, The ground is under a foot of snow too! Plant your seeds in pots. Then put the pots on the window sill or under grow lights. I'll be posting photos of mine soon.
If you need plastic for labels, pick up a mini blind at the dollar store. You can cut each blind into several sections for labels. Very fast, very inexpensive. One mini-blind will make enough labels for years!
