On Wednesday I started some seeds indoors (in little peat cylinders I bought at a hardware/housewares store): mixed lettuce, Paul Robeson tomatoes, and purple basil, and this morning I noticed the first signs of sprouting. (I think I jumped the gun on the basil, based on what the seed packet says about when to plant them).
Today I planted sunflowers in front of the house. I got this packet of seeds as a freebie last year, when I ordered the tomatoes and some radishes. (I ordered the tomato seeds a bit late, so didn't use them last year, and am hoping I started them early enough this year.)
I'm not sure what comes next, but I think it involves a trip to a garden store, and likely buying potting soil, and maybe plant food and/or a trellis or other structure to support tomatoes and cucumbers.
We also have some rutabaga seeds, which say not to start them indoors, but some weeding may be called for before we plant any seeds directly in the garden.
In the meantime, we have daffodils and crocuses, and the forsythia is about to bloom around the corner.
