Are You Planning To Start Container Garden Plants From Seed?

Friday January 9, 2009

Seed catalogs are pouring into my mailbox and I'm starting to seriously drool. Some parts of the country are even getting close to seed starting time. I'm a little jealous because I still have months to go.

I'm curious how many of you are planning to start your container garden plants indoors from seed. It certainly can be an economical way to go.

Anyhow, please vote in this poll.

Thanks!

We were just talking about doing that lastnight to try and jumpstart pepper plants.
I used to have a plastic container with atop and places to start bunches of seeds, but it may have disintegrate cuz I haven’t seen it about a decade. One year i started lots of seeds in pots out doors. but thugh it would be nice to give it a try inside.

Ought to work, once my daughter started seeds in post in our cupboard for a science project. She sprouted some upside down and others under different wacky conditions. So seems like I ought to be able to get seeds to to sprout normally.

I do all my vegetable gardening in containers because our soil is not the best for planting. Usually, I go to the nursery and buy the plants already started but this year I might try starting them my own indoors. Im still researching but either way I cant wait to start gardening again!
