SPRING IS HERE! (despite the intermittent snow)

I can’t believe it, but Spring has officially arrived!
The birds are singing, flowers are emerging and IT’S TIME TO START SEEDS!!

Have you stated anything yet??

If you live in Zone 6B like we do here in SW Michigan, it’s time to get those cool weather plants going! As well as some herbs, peppers, tomatoes, and some flowers. In fact, some of those Cool season plants can be going in the ground!

We’re about 7-8 weeks out from our last frost date (May 11) and my planting calendar is full of seed-starting dates. Here’s what I’ve started so far…

Onion seeds
Celery
All peppers
Eggplant
Basil (4 varieties!)
Cilantro
Parsley
Lettuces
Spinach
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Arugula
Mizuna
Black-Eyes Susans
Snapdragons

Comment below what you’ve started and what your plans are for this year’s Garden!
