I’m pretty stoked right now because my seeds are sprouting! I know these plants might not make it because I planted them too early, but I’m very happy to see green in my house!
I’m two weeks away from starting seeds using phase two which will be newspaper pots. I’m really looking forward to that.
I thought I’d give a rundown of what I’m going to be planting, and I would love your comments and ideas on where I should plant the different plants. I don’t know nearly enough about guilds so I guess this year is going to be a watch and learn year so I see what does well beside one another. I will also be staggering where the plants are and what they’re next to.
I would also love your tips on when to plant them (or if I just plant them all together) if you have any experience with that.
