Next month Iโ€™m going to take out the broccoli and start spring planting

I will be waiting till march :(

Dang

Its like 33 here in imperial

Laughs in Fahrenheit

I started mid March last season and in hindsight I was late. So starting early this year

Is now too early for some onions and dill? I was playing with old seeds and popped some eggplant and stuff, I'm also trying to pop some rhododendron seeds!

What growing zone are you in?

I am in zone 4. It is quite early, I'm just itching to play around!

Zone 4? Wow i am in 7a in Canada. Do you plan on doing a lot of flowers?

I've certainly got some nasturtium and marigolds, a few other pollinators. I'm trying to pop some rhododendron seeds right now as well

Nice grouping, I use sweet alyssum too as it attracts paracidic wasps. I am interested about your rhododendron

I am too, I know nothing haha. I had a small semi successful outdoor veggie garden last year, I'm new to the gardening world but I'm having fun. I've been very focused on creating a living soil, also. A microscope is the next thing on my "when I'm not broke" list, I'm gonna study microbes in my various fermented fertilizer concoctions

Will start germinate sweet potatoes soon! ๐Ÿ  i plan to grow them in dark colored boxes, so the sun can heat the soil! Trying to grow as much as possible because I really love them - itโ€™s also first attempt growing them

Sounds like a good plan, keeping my fingers crossed for you ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Thanks Paul! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ  will share updates!

Pictures please when they start growing

You can buy your starter potatoes at the grocery store. Just get the organic ones because the regular ones are sprayed with something to keep them from making slips.

Bury the potato on its side about halfway in soil and keep the soil moist but not wet. If you are in a colder climate then you will transplant the slips out into the boxes or if you are in a warm climate you can just grow from a single potato per box. Donโ€™t put more than one potato per box, youโ€™ll get a ton of vines and a lot of potatoes but they will be small.

The leaves are edible and tastier than you would expect. Cook them like spinach. The growing season is longer than you would expect and you can harvest once the leaves turn yellow and start dying.

Good luck! Iโ€™m about to start a new batch first of march.

Really useful knowledge! Thank you so much! Will keep you updated ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ
