The season is upon us! I received my seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds just in time to start my onions. I'll be starting 200 of them tomorrow in large soil blocks. Last year I tried to get away with the mini soil blocks for the onions, but they didn't grow to their full potential, so hopefully I'll have nice sized transplants when it's time to put them in the garden this spring.

Growbag Experiment Update
It's been 31 days since I started my first seeds in the grow bags. Not the results I had hoped for. There just wasn't enough daylight hours to support decent growth, and the lettuce and spinach became really leggy and grew slowly. I'm hoping they kick it up a notch now that the sun is staying around much longer. But if not, I'll harvest the micro greens and replant.

Tomatoes and Peppers
My son decided that he really liked putting his hands in the soil, and completely decimated my first round of tomatoes and peppers. I had to replant a few weeks back and the tomatoes are just sprouting. The peppers should be coming up pretty soon as well.
