Parsley

I put parsley seeds in warm water to soak overnight before I plant them.

I talked to Cathy. She doesn't think she'll have time to start many plants so I told her I'd start some for her, especially tomatoes and peppers.

Garden Tip

I found a great tip on the "Gardening Tips and Tricks" Facebook page today. Coffee grounds keep cutworms away. Place them around your corn stalks or vegetable garden. Coffee grounds act as a great fertilizer too. They're acidic though, so be careful not to change your soil ph too much.

Figured it out

I figured out the timer that's built into the new power strip that I bought for the shop lights & plugged the lights in. That way I don't have to remember to turn them on & off every day.

More Seed Starting

Today I started rosemary, red onions, and yellow onions. I put them under the shop lights downstairs. Most experts say to just buy a rosemary plant instead of starting them from seed since they grow so slowly, but I thought I'd give it a try.

2013 Seed Starting
