With the garden beds built and filled and winter weather reclaiming the landscape there wasn't much else to do but sit and browse seed catalogs....a dangerous game with spring so far away.
I had a decent amount of seeds from 2016 left and decided I must use that before ordering new seeds. Fortunately my supply was all summer plants and I intended a spring garden! I added the following to my arsenal: Premier Kale, Lacinato Kale, Red Russian Kale, Swiss Chard, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Oven Roaster Brussels Sprouts, Spicy Mesclun Mix, Sweet Mesclun Mix, Black Seeded Simpson, Bibb, Radish Blend, Rainbow Carrot blend, parsnips and Sugar Daddy Peas. Needless to say I was a happy guy.
My summer supply already included Shooting Star Eggplant, California Wonder Peppers, Pinot Noir Peppers, Big Guy Jalapenos, Brandywine Pink Tomato, Baby Boomer Tomato, Sungold Tomato, Iznik Cucumber, Brown Russian Cucumber, Sour Gherkin Cucumber, Summer Squash and Zucchini. I managed to make room in my basket for a pickling cucumber, Blue Lake 47 Bush Beans, Early White Scallop Squash, Acorn Squash, Sugar Baby Watermelon, Spaghetti Squash and two more tomato varieties, Arkansas Traveler and Early Girl. It doesn't take a genius to see that those beds are going to be crowded if I'm not careful.
With March rolling in finally, I got the spring crops I felt could be transferred started under a grow light as well as some eggplant, tomatoes and peppers! One tray shown below.
