Which seeds need to be germinated first?
Well, finally got my grow lights up and my heating pad out. Now I need
to decide which seeds should be germinated first because I feel as if I'm running late. I hope to plant: snow peas, string beans, romano beans, early ripening watermelons, charentais melons, acorn squash, corn, early, mid-, and late season tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, zuchs and crook-necks, sweet, and hot peppers, lettuce, basil, and an assortment of herbs. I suppose that since the peas, and lettuce will be planted first, they should be germinated first. The tomatoes are the most important to me, so I will push them to the head of the line. Early April is my goal to start planting. I hope to have the garden up full tilt by May. Any suggestions? My first attempt at a winter garden was abbreviated by snails and slugs. The broccoli, and the cabbage were eaten first but the Brussel sprouts have been more resilient but not impervious. I see few snails, and slugs and they appear to be, historically, on the small side, adolescent if you will (none of the 8"-10" banana slugs that typically terrorize my Spring plantings).The rain fall is only 75% of normal, and I did mulch with straw in the fall for the first time. I think the mulch is the major difference. - Bill Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly:-) |
