Nothing better than the smell of tomato plants..

Well, I know how you kids are

I was browsing around the herb seeds in the store the other day. I was thinking about putting some up in one of my small window boxes. I can find some window room somewhere. Sure miss the fresh parsley and Thai basil.

I planted garlic for the first time in October. I was pleasantly surprised to see what appears to be a sprout shooting through the snow. I didn't think i would see a sprout so soon.

I planted 64 cloves in a new bed last fall. There's several sprouts coming up through the 8" of mulch I put on top at the end of the season. I'm hoping for a good crop of garlic this season. Everything's bett with garlic

Please keep us up to date with pictures. It's a very interesting process to many of us. I really don't know what a "plug" is or how you handle them.

Bob these are plugs..  They come in trays from 500 and something to 700 and something plants.. This was an order from last year...   We do this a few times a year......





This is what 15,000 baby marigolds look like..

That's a lot of separating and replanting right there.

Do you generally start from seed, or buy plugs? I do a combination of both, I tried one of the cheap green houses and it got destroyed by the first big wind storm we had. Now it serves as my Cuke trellis
