All I have started are onions, and it will stay that way for at least two more weeks. We've had such a deep freeze in Wisconsin this year.<br /><br />On the plus side, I ordered a bunch of fruit bushes today, so I'll finally be able to get started on an edible hedge this year!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916756946513358284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-72789129986841586232014-02-28T19:33:23.446-08:002014-02-28T19:33:23.446-08:00You're welcome.

The experiment with lettuce and chard were so successful (1-3 days from seed to sprout and another 1-2 days to seedlings), I just might be using this method for most of my indoor seed starting.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-10672126742099298752014-02-28T11:07:53.655-08:002014-02-28T11:07:53.655-08:00No, just the blog.

I'm interested to see that you do a lot of pre-sprouting of your seeds. Not many people do that here.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-5146914157466509342014-02-28T10:26:47.231-08:002014-02-28T10:26:47.231-08:00Have you always kept a journal or are you starting...Have you always kept a journal or are you starting to now? I keep thinking of it. The blog is sort of journalish since I can go back and see when I planted things outside and such. But it is a pain for that. I'm supposed to fill in the chart I make so I know when I actually planted, but the reality is that it doesn't happen.
