When do you start your tomato seeds? You would not believe the beautiful tomato plants that came out of the compost pile\ from the 'backyard tomatoes' bought from our grocery store from the Madison, ME greenhouses. But, they didn't have enough time to ripen, only got a few ripe ones. That's what I hate about Maine, the short growing season. I use herbs, I have a bottle of cloves in oil for itching skin caused by some weeds around this place like the Virginia creeper vine. I visited the seed website, there are flowers I'll probably buy. I plant the sunflowers for the birds and bees.I love zinnias
@womanoffgridwithdogАй бұрын
Hi! I usually start my seeds at the beginning of April. I keep the starter trays on a shelf in my shower house and bring them out into the sun on the warmer days. That is too funny! The Fall before last I threw some small white pumpkins into the mulch under my bird feeders and they plants came up the filling summer. I got like 5 white pumpkins from it. 🤣🤣 Nature and plants are amazing. I wish Maine had a longer growing season also. I think this time of year they sell mostly flowers. I will keep an eye out for when they start selling their vege seeds again. Oh that is great! I will have to try that for rashes. Thank you! 😊❤️
