Getting an early start on my weed plants this year. I am allowed to grow 12, so why not go big. Those to go containers make great seed starting humidity domes. I just planted vegetable seeds in them. It is time to pot up those weed plants in one gallon containers. I'm thinking of planting some seeds for companion plants/ ground cover in the gallon pots. Any suggestions?

Do you like to start seeds or direct plant? What vegetables do you like to start early?

Starting onions this week. I'm in zone 6. Peppers in first week of March. Late March I start broc, cauliflower, lettuces, spinach. Tomatoes first week of April. I direct seed radish, carrot, spinach in early April depending on the forecast. I haven't grown cannabis in years.

I'm in zone 5a in Michigan, so maybe I'm a bit early. I want to get some peppers this year. I haven't figured them out yet as I'm not originally from Michigan. I may take some cuttings if my starts get too big. Last year I cloned a bunch of tomatoes and was surprised how easy it was.

I always find everything grows much faster than I think and then by may I am dealing with huge plants suffering in pots that need to go in the ground but its often still to cold and nighttime temps are risky... yeah tomato cuttings root easily. I prefer to start everything i can by seed tho.

I'm starting Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, and various lettuce varieties. I think I will direct plant these too because I'm not sure what does better direct planted or transplanted. I have time and space to start more because I'll be moving the bigger plants to a cold frame or greenhouse in a couple weeks.
