What are you all starting from seed?
 
Current seedlings I have a parsley,basil, leek, artichokes,
hollyhocks, trailing lobelia, red flowered sage, verbascum, yellow
echinacea (first one popped up overnight), kale, snapdragons and
lunaria (money plant). Tomorrow I'll start tomatoes and bell, corno
del toro, serrano and habanero peppers, impatiens, and marigolds. I
was going to start some broccoli, cabbage,etc; but I found some small
packs of broccoli, cabbage and brussel sprouts at Lowe's hardware
yesterday.I'm going to transplant them into larger peat pots tonight
and keep them in the mud room overnight till the night time
temperatures warm up a bit. We're expecting low 20's night time
temperatures and snow the rest of this week.

I don't have a greenhouse but I have grow lights set up in my basement
and in my pottery studio where I over winter my tropicals.

I'll let the group know how yellow they are. Don't know if they'll
bloom the first year. I started them early enough, so maybe they will.

My Laurentia seeds are up. They are teeny, tiny seedlings. I've never
grown them before but the picture looked good and said they're good
for hanging baskets. This morning I'm going to start tomatoes, various
peppers and bok choy. It's earlier than I usually start tomatoes; but
I figure if they do well under the lights I'll have really big
transplants in May. My old celery seed didn't sprout and after 2 weeks
I figure they're not viable. I'll just buy some starters in the
spring.
I also have to transplant the hollyhocks and maybe some others today.
