"anything started to go outside yet"... well the only thing I started is cleanup of rear garden... wanted to start sprouting romaine... beets... spinach... this evening... maybe tomorrow..
So.. I did start this below... last fall the chickens ate the hell out of it... I gave up on it

Next time... going to burn the leaves row on the left.. and torch the green on the right.
Thats great!! For the plants that came up with multiple plants in one grid square, do you pick the “strongest” or do you pull them all out and get them in their own pots or planter space?Great idea. Here's my tomato seedlings and my photos started last week in a old tent. Should have started them 2 weeks earlier so I'm already playing catch up. The tomatoes will be going in a raised bed and the cannabis in a poly-tunnel greenhouse. I'll post pics of those when I plant.(it's dark now)View attachment 2150690
I usually plant 2 or 3 seeds per grid and pick the strongest one. The rest get culled. Always start way more than I need but can usually find homes for the extras with family and friends.Thats great!!

Ok I was wondering how hard it is to get them all out to replant without damaging them : ) I have always just put one seed per square. I think it’s better practice to do it the way you’re doing it though : )I usually plant 2 or 3 seeds per grid and pick the strongest one. The rest get culled.

Ill wait for you man! It’s all about the fun and friends along the way : ) I was going to put a bunch of stuff in the dirt today and started thinking about how cold the soil is.You guys are way way ahead of me...
it's way more efficient to plant numerous seeds and using a gentle touch repot the extras. I was doing one seed per cube until I experimented. I honestly did not lose one seedling out of roughly 7 flats of all different plants. I will no on start with a larger starter pot and when the timing is right just sperate and re-potOk I was wondering how hard it is to get them all out to replant without damaging them : ) I have always just put one seed per square.

My giveaways were in the smaller pots and not supported so this rain bent them over. They should pop back up, probably, maybehahaha
pretty cool looking, yeah? I would wait until it finishes blooming and get it moved to a good spot. Too cool to let it get stompedNever saw this tulip before in my life... was finally able to identify it... thought tulips ordinate from bulbs... still pondering how it got here...

Wondering if I should transplant it.. before it gets trampled on?
I’m in the Northern California area : ) I went and checked the soil temp yesterday (trusty finger in the soil test) didn’t feel cold at all. Some things will be going in later today! : )Bear.. I'm guessing your a bit north of me...
I would construct a little temporary stick fence around it : ) nothing fancy, just something enough to catch your eye so not to step on it or to keep animal traffic off it. Then fallowing Otto’s advice after the bloom and transplant it : )Wondering if I should transplant it.. before it gets trampled on?
When you say reapers you mean Carolina right? If so have you got a few on the go now?Here’s some pumpkins, zucchini, pole beans, watermelon, and some reaper peppers! I have tried the peppers last year and had one hang on and go to flower and fruit! Two peppers hahahaha! The tomatoes were looking awesome before this cold rainy weather came through, confident they’ll snap right back. Those are the kids’ summer snacks!View attachment 2150700View attachment 2150701View attachment 2150702
