the Dollar Store has its 25 cent seed pkts in (the ones that USED to be 10 cents...) they are not very large but if you only want a few to start indoors there is less waste and cost with these. I have had good luck with them, but finding them has gotten harder the past four or five years.
So tonight I am starting my transplants and thinking "SCORE"!!!

I also started a sweet potato plant for slips a week ago, it is showing signs of rooting. I think they must treat the sweet potatoes, as it seems slower to sprout than in the past. Hope it will sprout - I want to root the slips for the garden.

The pecan trees are budding here. It's time to plant.

yup, i live in wis and even up here we can plant some things in march: potatoes, beets and peas for example. the rest is started indoors until we can plant out the cruciferous crops in april. The warm weather stuff goes out memorial day. But my daffodils, peonies and daylilies are sprouting and it is sooooo nice to see them!
