Even though it is still cold outside and everything is frozen, that shouldn't stop anyone from getting an early start to the gardening season. By this I mean sprouting seeds and growing seedlings indoors until the outside weather is warm enough for the plants to survive in.
Today's seeds are: American Flag Leeks, Green Globe Artichoke, Walla Walla Onions, and Mary Washington Asparagus. I have begun the germination process by placing the seeds between moistened paper towel and leaving in a ziplock bag in the sun. In 2-3 days we should see some growth and the sprouts can be moved into soil. In about 2 weeks, I can start sprouting the rest of the plants that can be started indoors.
Other plants that I plan to grow this year are carrots, cauliflower, chard, corn, delicata squash, ground cherry, peas, pumpkin, spinach,tomatoes, watermelon, and zucchini. Hoping for a very bountiful year and plenty of food to practice various preserving methods with, most specifically dehydrating and canning.
