My first year too. Many sprouts almost lasted through the last recent freeze (of many). Might have about 1/3 still alive. I am starting over as soon as the new snow is gone (due tonight). I put baggies over the survivors for tonight. I think we are only to get a few inches of snow.

I'll keep doing this until I do it right. I need lots of practice. I did notice that the plastic baggies really worked like baby greenhouses. I am encouraged, even if mother nature wants to test us. I even had cucumbers sprout and last until the last hard freeze. Even tomatoes lasted until the last freeze. Hah! I finally lost everything I had planted out (squirrels and last freeze).

I bought more seed and even found some I had not seen before - what luck. I hope this nasty weather quits soon. I have lots of plants coming in the mail. I would hate to keep plants in the house for a while. My new seed, once sprouted, will complement them. I will also use chicken wire and chemical spray for those nasty rodents. We (humans) will win. I need some wins to compensate for the tree/shrub/bulb flower loss. Stupid weather.
