I am in Western Mass and I see you are in Western NY. Just wondering when your last frost date is...
I begin starting seeds on March 1 for a May 31 frost date. I start about 1200 - 1500 seedlings in my kitchen and living room each year, as I don't have a greenhouse, yet....
I saw you'd been growing for 45 years! I started my first veg garden in 1992 but had done flowers for about 10 years before that.
I come from a large family of farmers so we always grew everything because we had large families. I have been working in the gardens since I was a wee lad. Anyhow, I count the 45 years as the first time I had my own gardens in my first house at the age of 20. Now, that gives my age away doesn't it? I think our last frost day is around the 15th of May. We have not had one that late in years, but we have had some very cold nights after planting out some tender annuals. I look forward to seeing some of your garden photos.
Ahhh, we are of the same age, then. :))
I tend, when I remember my camera, to take several photos each day when I am out. With the addition construction there are often 2 posts a day.
Good for you! I am only doing one post as I have tons to do around here. have a great week.
