Seeds for 2021

Last year was my first time gardening, really my first time growing anything. I was happy with my first attempt but realized how naive I was. Last year I just went to the closest big box home store and grabbed up a bunch of plants that they had. I threw them in some raised beds I purchased off of Amazon and that was that. Throughout the growing season I learned A LOT! I planted things too close together. I moved things around when I should have let them grow where they were. And I planted them WAY too early (a late frost almost killed my tomato plants.) Shockingly, I did have a pretty successful garden which inspired me to up my game. I started researching and learning and by the winter I had a fairly good idea what I wanted for this year. As I noticed from last year, seeds sell out, fast! I had no idea that people stock up on seeds so early but this year I was prepared. I had a full garden plan in December and I made a Christmas list with all the seeds I wanted from Baker Creek Seeds. Santa was good to me!

Below you can see all the seeds that I will be planting this year, of course I may add a few (it's hard to stop once you start.) Speaking of starting, I started my basil seeds on February 4th, just to have a bit of green growing. It has been a very snowy year so far and I am desperate for spring. My basil is doing well but the peppers and eggplant that I started on February 15th are slow going so last night I caved and ordered a heat mat to help with germination. I also started my tomatoes on March 28th which was also the day that I saw the first of my baby peps popping up! I cannot wait to eat all my babies!!
