Pristine

This is the trail to my compost. Beautiful, white, pristine and well over the top of my boots. In Saskatchewan, for gardeners who start them, seeds are the priority right now. I don't start seeds. I only talk about it. Some years more than others. The few years I have tried, they all died a miserable death. Usually dry and crispy. Plants have a lot of trouble getting my attention inside the house and seeds even more so. Seed starts are also a lot of work. Work I find I am usually unwilling to do. So, this year again, I will be starting seeds, but only the ones that I can start outside in the ground. The rest will have to come from the market. Its always good to have a reason to go to the market anyway.

Starting Seeds This Season?

I keep going back and forth on whether I am going to start seeds inside this year or not. I would rather not but we have such a short growing season, the list of what I can't grow is huge. I am still undecided but that can't last much longer - spring is coming!

If you are planning on starting seeds, there is a good article that contains a simple seed starting plan at Organic Gardening. It also has how to instructions for making your own seed starting mix and newspaper seedling pots.
