Finally got a lot of my seeds started today. One type of lavender in this first one, sage and borage.

This one has eggplant, cotton and bell peppers.

This one has banana peppers, another kind of lavender and I'm saving a spot for the lemongrass. I went to the other big box store (yes, we have two. It's a small town.) and they didn't have any lemongrass. So I went to a local mom and pop kind of garden center and they should be getting actual lemongrass next month. I might just go for that. But I really prefer starting stuff from seed. It's cheaper for one. But I guess I'll have to order the seeds from somewhere.

I also put all of my moringa seeds in a gallon size baggie since I don't know if these are going to still be viable or not. So I figured go for it full tilt.

I also have another tray ready for seeds also. I'll probably end up starting my tomatoes in those. And maybe my basil. Tomatoes and basil sounds really good. Hmm, I have a whole bunch of jars of canned tomatoes from last year. Hmmmm....

Too late at night to get anything to eat right now so maybe I'll try something tomorrow. Tomato and basil with some of the chicken? Ok, I better stop before I make myself hungry. Have a good night and take care.

I started my first round on Tuesday. I was delighted to discover most all of the kale, onions, beets, and mesclun were up this morning. The flowers: heliotrope, pansies, and verbascum are taking their time. Next seed starting is March 15.

I hope everything grows really good for you. I've never had much luck with growing onions from seed so I grow egyptian onions instead. Those things are nearly indestructible.

Great post, keep up the good work. It is hard to get going on Steemit, but persistence will pay off.

Thank you. I'm actually enjoying the blogging process again. If I can make a little from it, then that's awesome too.
