I've already stated - did some basil, toms, peps, and eggplants late dec.....this am did cabbage, cauliflower, brocolli, chard and some lettuces....

winter sowed parsley, chives, and comfrey.

within the next month hope to do spinach, beets, turnips directly into hoophouse, celery, okra and herbs inside....

Most excited about eggplant and celery - have never had a success with these. But it's all going to happen in 2012....

Not anywhere near time here. The earliest I really can see starting anything is around the first to the middle of March.

Tomatoes , squash , peppers , beans , and corn !I Love Arizona !

Are we talking indoors or outside?

all mine are indoors as yet, flora. These are my "early" tomatoes, intended to be completely container grown to provide harvest till the main crop going into beds becomes productive. Eggplants and peppers I'll see how they grow - they are still super tiny, so if they aren't too big when hot weather hits, I'll put them into the beds, if they take off at some point before that, I'll put them into appropriate sized containers, and have them be container grown....transferring the large containers outside when weather is appropriate.

I'll likely end up with a mix. My germination on eggplant has been poor - spotty with the peppers. I have 1 eggplant and 1 sweet pepper and 5 hots. I wanted 1 of each kind early, and 1-3 late. I want to try the papertowel method for the 2nd go round, but I need to get some small ziplock baggies.....

the basil is meant to indoor pot harvesting, will plant more for outside later.

All the cool weather seeding - lettuce, cabbages, etc are indoors, meant to be transplanted about mar1 under protection....

The doorbell just went and the postwoman has brought my seed order. I'll be sowing sweet peas (the flowers, not the veggie), some favas and a few lettuces in the cold greenhouse this afternoon. First outdoor sowings will be more favas, parsnips, parsley and spring onions in February.

Onions, leeks, and artichokes, maybe in a week or two. The leeks I am just doing a starter batch to see what they are like, but the onions will be a big tray, the year's new supply. I was curious to see if the artichokes would winter over this year like the cardoons but the leaves have died right back on those. I don't mind, they are cool plants from seed. Oh, and probably I will start a chili pepper or two. One type I have takes a long time to germinate and then is slow to mature, so we'll get them up and running earlier this year. I guess that makes this the week to go bleach out the items I'm reusing. Hooray!

Yay! have fun Flora!

Indoors and out flora.

I want to start my tomato, sweet pepper and marigold seeds inside on Friday. I haven't done this in over 30 years. We have tried a few seeds, but we don't want to have anything growing in the summer here. It is just too hot and buggy and diseases are rampant then. hard for two Yankees to get used to. Maybe some basil and other flower seeds too indoors. I only have a large card table to put them on.
