The Growing Community Naturally organization continues to offer opportunities for local persons to learn and expand their gardening skills. I am offering information on my approach to starting seedlings before the ground is ready.
I’m preparing to grow plants under fluorescent lights on a table in our basement.
I have filled six trays with pots of greenhouse dirt which had thawed before our last below-zero snowfall, and have watered that dirt in an effort to get weeds to sprout and grow before I pull up those weeds, feed them to the chickens, then plant tomato, cabbage and other assorted seeds in late March and early April.
