Twelve weeks (estimated) until last frost date for my zone (5b). I’m using May 8 as that date.
So we started seeds today. I’m trying to get more organized with my garden planning. I used a planting schedule from Johnny’s Seeds to plan out the indoor seed starting schedule week by week. First up, alliums:
- Conservor shallots
- Borrettana Cippollini onions
- Bleu de Solaize leeks
We used our soil blocking tool and a potting mix composed with the following recipe:
- 5 parts ProMix Growing Medium
- 3 parts compost (Vee, left over from last year)
- 1/2 part sand
- 1/4 part azomite
- 5 parts water
I sprinkled the seeds over the top of the blocks, then sprinkled more ProMix over the top and misted. The flat is on the kitchen floor for now, where the radiant floor heat can keep them warm.
Next week, I’ll start some celeriac and leaf celery. Maybe parsley. And I need to fill out my planting schedule with set-out dates and direct-seed dates.
