Brussels Sprouts Day 8


My brussels sprouts are growing fast. I planted the brussels sprouts 8 days ago. The seedlings are growing pretty fast from the indoor greenhouse kit. I will be keeping the plants indoors until around early May or late April. Today I purchased many flower and vegetable seed packets. I will be starting the other seed packets in indoor greenhouses next week.

Snapdragons Flower Seed Starting


I started my snapdragon flower seeds in a indoor greenhouse kit. I received my other fruit and vegetable seeds in the mail. Today's mail contained my cotton seeds, pumpkin seeds, and strawberry seeds. I have ordered more seeds from the Internet. Usually, I get most of my flower and vegetable seeds from local big box stores or garden nurseries. Garden nurseries tend to have better flower seeds. Most my garden flowers and vegetables are going to started from seeds this year. Last year I got to excited and planted some of my flowers too early. The last cold frost came in late April year. I lost some of the flowers and vegetables I planted. This Year I am starting most of the garden stuff indoors and plan to plant the flowers and vegetables in late April or early May depending on the weather here.

More spring flower bulbs starting to come out of the ground. I am getting excited for when all my tulips, daffodils, crocus, and my other spring bulbs come out completely. I have a small garden dedicated to just tulips and daffodils. My other garden space I have will be used for my summer flowers and vegetables.
