Last week I ordered seeds for all my herbs and greens (and some peppers too) to replenish my old stash. Today I received ALL my seeds. So many packets. Now I need to sort and put away.
This week I will be looking for and replenishing my flowers. Getting rid of those that failed, that I never used. I will look for NEW flowers to add.

I will keep seeds two years for most. Then I replenish. I got rid of 2018 seeds.

Are you all set to set up your EB's,Shawn? If you haven't gotten the kits you can always use rock phosphate and a general granular fertilizer and some green plastic bags and Gorilla tape...not exactly designer, but works just as well.

Yes I got the replacement kit. All I need to do is get to the nursery for the potting mix. I will need the large bag. However I have no idea when to start LOL. I want to plant some Roma Tomatoes (and bought a beefsteak I think it was) that I will start in my AG of course. I do not have a starter tray so will use the cages. Also when to start these in the ag I also have no clue.
I may order another EB setup (box and all) to do all flowers but I also have my hanging planters for the deck so I am still mulling that one over.

usually the last 2 weeks of may are safe.i put them in front of a window to harden off in the breeze and aim for memorial day weekend. i have been hesitating for the past few years with the freaky weather causing the Maples to drop their 'helicopters' or 'wings' all over the seedlings ...what a mess..it doesn;t finish until after July 4th.

Good to know. I guess in March (mid?) I should start in the AG?

Mid March or late march is good. Believe it or not I have geranium seedlings going already. I want them in full flower by planting. But I have racks with lights above as well as a warm sun porch to keep them going in soil once they are ready. It takes(so it reads) that they take 14 weeks until they begin to flower. I wont be starting my toms until late march.
