I was thinking I needed to get some seeds going this weekend.  I did get some bulbs started this week while sitting around.   A lot of these bulbs were supposed to be planted in the fall but they did not get here until after the ground froze.   So I refrigerated them.  If they go in the ground as plants I have less squirrel problems anyway.

      We just talked about this.
      For most pepper and tomato plants we're going to go with started plants from a greenhouse we've had good luck with. Yes. I ended a sentence with a preposition.
      We get our potatoes and onions and just about all our seeds from the same place. Our garlic has been in since October.

Tried burning the asparagus ferns but they aren't quite ready yet.

Off the wall question.  Anyone buy any of this supposed garden soil? I need to fill a somewhat hole after I cut down a tree

The last time I bought a couple bags of that stuff seemed more like a potting soil??

I may just steal dirt from the garden?

I buy the garden soil from Menards. But for some reason last year it had a lot of rocks and twigs in the "soil"

Has your county got a compost site? That’s usually free.

We normally get a few pails every year from the 1 in GR. But since we're so much sand, I usually use it for seeding a spot or 2 of grass. There's often some sticks & stuff in that too, but after I rake it out a couple times it's good to go.

Check with the city of Cold Spring and see if they have a compost pile.   Good compost is like potting soil.

[roony]

I put them on my boiler. Seems to be about the right temperature.

Started my peppers and tomatoes today

[glenn57]

do you use starter soil or potting soil to start?? i've heard thta the regular potting soil may have some type of weed killer in that prevents the seeds from germination, whereas the starter soil doesnt.......so i've been told!!!!

[glenn57]

  HD today??

[mike89]

Someone told you wrong. You would buy potting soil with weed killer to put around your plants?

 Starter soil is finer texture and has less nutrients. It also has more moisture retention substance. 

Potting soil is courser with less moisture retention and more nutrients in it.  Designed for moving plants to bigger pots.
