This year I'm giving seed starting (yet) another chance. Every year, I try to start my own seedlings for transplant; however, the blasted things never take or just don't like to be transplanted. This time around I got a heat mat for my eggplant and pepper seeds, something I didn't have when I tried two seasons ago. I'm going to give the seed experience another go tonight after dinner. While this is an epic moment it brought about utter chaos.
If I start these seeds then where will they live? How many should I start? And the plan I had created back in January went out the window....not just because of thinking about seedlings but because I picked up a few things while out and about over the last few weekends. Namely blueberry plants and pumpkin seeds....and not to mention the red and blue corn seeds...oh! and more sunflower seeds...can't forget those...
The blueberry plants are now occupying the self-watering containers (SWC) I had planned for the pepper plants and well the pumpkins and corn seeds...they're hanging out for the moment. That brings me to the present. I've cut out pictures of all the seeds and plants I'm planning for this year's garden out of an extra Burpee's catalog. I'm planning on taping them (or somehow arranging them) onto an over-sized piece of paper as an impromptu planning guide. But then, I'm getting into the dilemma of finding out I might not have enough pots for this year's idea unless I get/make more...what's a girl to do?
