Plant List

// May 1st, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Seeds, Spring

*UPDATE* Due to some unfortunate circumstances (mainly the weather!) a lot of my available seedlings had to be used to replace things in my garden. I have cherry tomatoes available, and both kinds of basil.

Hey, gardeners in Boise! I have a HUGE amount of seedlings, and in less than 2 weeks, it will be time to plant them outside! Here is my list of what I’m giving away. Send me a note on Facebook or leave a comment here telling me which seedlings you’d like to have. An asterik next to a plant means I have a limited supply of that particular seedling, and I’ll make a note when I run out.

I’ll be hardening off the seedlings this week, so they’ll be ready to go.

My seedlings have come a long way already! I’ve already re-potted quite a few and made room for more in the tray for more. Here are some of the most recent pictures. I may update in the next day or so with more, since we rearranged our plant shelves.

And the pansies on the front porch.

Hurray! The weather is starting to change, and it feels like Spring! I am absolutely loving the beautiful weather we’ve been having here. We had a couple days of rain this week, and that’s wonderful as well.

In my last post, I forgot to mention another resource for seeds. Local businesses such as hardware and garden stores have many seeds available this time of the year. I bought all of my vegetable seeds a few weeks ago, and will be buying my flowers this weekend. I bought a seed starting kit, and will be setting that up this weekend.

For everyone in Boise, Fred Meyer is offering a coupon for 50% off all their seeds. Go check that out!!

Stay tuned for pictures of seedlings!

I have decided that this year I’m going to dive in and grow most or all of my plants from seeds! Which means that I had to do a lot of research. And of course I’ll share!

General Information
About.com - Indoor Seed Starting
Botanical Interests (the first section has lots of good info about seeds)
Farmer’s Almanac (great tips)

Places to buy Supplies
Burpee
Gardener’s Supply

And places to get seeds
Botanical Interests
Natural Gardening
Burpee
High Mowing Seeds

Phew! There are some great sites out there and they all get me so excited. I don’t have to wait for spring to get started on my garden! But there is a lot of work to do before I can start my seeds, and in the garden itself. Stay tuned!
