I have all the seeds I need (for maybe 3-5 years lol) and keep throwing away seed catalogues that arrive.
And yet... Seeds from Italy catalog came with such dreamy veggies I've never eaten from seed seller Franchi.
I DO NOT NEED SEEDS I keep telling myself.
Yes I will buy some of those seeds.

My first order of seed came today. The second from another supplier is in route. I'm getting antsy to put it mildly.

I'm surprised you haven't started yet there in Alabama. Maybe you're close?


For me its end of February for Peppers. March for Tomatoes & Eggplants

I would have started seed but the property that we had a contract on fell through with the sellers got involved in a very personal matter of their own. Looking at another place this morning that has a lot of pluses too and especially for the garden. Just outside of town for convenience but also has a well on property ready for summer irrigation. All the seed are here except 2. Still no Kentucky Blue pole beans and no savoy cabbage. For the first time the pole beans will be on bamboo poles. I've been given all the bamboo I can use for the taking. It's been on the wet side here delaying everyone's garden and still one more night of freezing temps. I can't safely start seed until next Monday as I must travel this week.

I was going to start my own seed starting soil...


Peat Moss
Vermiculite
Perlite


$32


But I usually just use 2 Seed starting soil 8 quart bags @$5.50.


Not worth the $$ to make my own.

I totally agree. I have a bag plus some trays with the pellet form of seed start that still should be good to use. Once we get a greenhouse up and going we will need larger quantities but still use a commercial mix rather than mess with mixing for the time saver benefit. I've got the fidgets for seeing some seed sprout really bad now... This will be a learning year in a new state with a different type of soil. Our first year growing in red clay under the reddish topsoil.
