Soon to Sow!

Yesterday, the seed starting soil arrived! So much for our “Amazon Day” because it wasn’t scheduled to get here until today! I’ll take it!

Then I went crazy this morning shopping online at Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds! I can hardly wait to get the seed packets!!! This is what I ordered...

The goal today is to prep the milk & water jugs I’ve collected, and from the friends that have collected for me! I will soon make another trip to gather from others as I know I don’t have near enough on hand.

In my last article, I explained the “winter sowing” technique I’m planning to do. It’s getting to be that time - finally!

I have a few seed packets left over from Botanical Interests I ordered last year I can work on while waiting for the “rare seeds”!!!!

I double checked our expected last freeze date from the Farmer’s Almanac resource.

I also ordered from Amazon a Frost Blanket Cover because I learned last year, sheets don’t cut it! The Greenhouse Hoops will keep the fabric from touching the plants. And, I did get the clips to keep the fabric secured against our winds.
 

Because of the blasted armadillos, I will have to have more raised beds... but that’s another story for another day.

Happy Gardening!
