seeds started!

I actually managed to start seeds this weekend, with C as my little helper. New this year, she didn't want to get her hands dirty (!!??) so she wore some ridiculous gloves of mine -- i will have to see if i can pick up some kid's size gardening gloves.

We started:

Tomatoes: Aunt Ruby's German Green, Great White, Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, St. Pierre (that is this year's novelty! ) I am sick of cherry tomatoes so i didn't plant any this year. I hope my Cherokee purples sprout because the seed was several years old.

Eggplant Thai Long Purple

Chile peppers "Ancho Grande" (a freebie)

Marigolds -- "Harlequin", a striped heirloom, and a variety of tiny ones that i saw at Greenfield Village and stole, uh, collected some seed from last year.

Pumpkin "Musquee de provence" which i think from the picture are the very tasty ones we used to get in France.

Yes, i started pumpkins inside, because the 'days to maturity' of this pumpkin said '120' which seemed like a lot. They are in those peat cups so we will see how that transfer goes.

Yes, we started marigolds inside also, for C's pleasure. Because "i no yike 'matoes."

All seeds were from Baker Creek this year.

I still have not done a garden plan. Hell, i still have not taken down last year's tomato cages. So i don't know what else we will plant. Lettuce, beans, basil, sunflowers, summer squash likely. Beets maybe. C wants corn which should be popular with the squirrels. So we will see.

Next week is our spring break, and i hope the weather is temperate enough so that i can get out there & clean out all my gardens & mulch....
