It's tax time and not time to be planting seeds. I know that. I articulate that. I still don't follow my own advice.
Today, I planted the following:
Brussel Sprouts - Long Island Improved, Bubbles
Broccoli - DiCicco, Calabrese
Kale
Cauliflower
Basil - Italian Large Leaf, Genovesse, Thai, Licorice, Sweet
Parsley - Moss Curled, Double Curled, Italian Dark Green
Cilantro
Rosemary
Lettuce / Romaine - Outback, Caeser Blend
Swiss Chard - Lucullus, Bright Lights
They are sitting on top of the boiler so a nice heat source that should help the seed explode.
This year I am going to do a lot more staggered planting of our plants. Think about it. You go to your local garden center and get some plants that most likely have been started at the same time. They might have been slowed up to meet some predetermined delivery window. The way I look at it, one should keep the plants growing very, very fast and not slow the process down. From inside, to deck, to hardening off, to garden.
Time will tell. Consider that the sleet on the windows last night put me to sleep and the flooded back yard welcomed me to light of day. Remember, this is spring.
Be safe.
