Growing in Georgia
It’s almost that time in Georgia! Winter has hardly begun when it’s time to pull out the seed packets and start preparing seedlings to be transferred to the garden in March and April. Many of the plants you hope to place in your garden in Spring may be started indoors in January and February.
Pictured above is a flat of seedlings I planted last winter, 2020. You might recognize the plants: tomatoes, marigolds and maybe alyssum on the far left. One or two little dill seeds must have made their way into the seed flat…
The soil, by the way, looks too dry. I should have had another tray under my seed flat with which to water the plants. Most of them survived, though.
The process of growing seedlings brought the joy of watching rising new growth into my house… To my long-suffering husband’s annoyance the earliest stages happened on our kitchen counters. I’ll have to come up with another, happier, storage situation this year.
