Kitchen garden

Like the compost bin, starting seeds has become my way of welcoming spring (or what there is of it) this year. In past times, I would purchase plants later in the season that will be a source of fresh produce once the summer hits.
This year I think (!) it will be fun to start a few select plants from seed. Figure out your last frost date, and you will be able to determine when to start your plants indoors (check with your local extension service).
The first round of seeds will be my 'Mexican medley' - all vegetables that I can't wait to make into salsas, add to carnitas, and top onto tacos: jalapeno, tomatillos, habenero, ancho gigantes. In there is also broccoli, an early grower. Next up will be tomatoes, cucumbers....and more!

I simply planted as instructed into peat pots, and followed the instructions on the seed packets for soil depth. Keep 'em damp, and watch them grow! Now where to plant them.....

This kit comes with a see-through lid, to keep everything happy

4 days in, and the broccoli sees the light!
