First Day of Spring

My Tomato Variety this Year 2012

First Day of Spring yesterday and I feel like my garden is already off and running even if the actual garden outside is not so  much.  Started the first of my tomatoes on Saturday (March 17th) this is my first time growing tomatoes from seed so fingers crossed.  I've given them a nice warming mat to keep them warm

Starting Seeds Indoors





Okay here's the deal, starting seeds inside can seem a little daunting.  I won't lie there are risks involved, life and death hang in the balance but it is completely possible and magical so try it.  There are so many good reasons for starting you seeds yourself.  For starters it's a money saver and who these days doesn't want a money saver?

Spring Soon.........ish

Well spring is on its way, although it is hard to tell outside with this last little bout of snow and yuck.  I've been a bad blogger but to be fair as I reflect I think winter is not really the best time to start a blog about growing food.
A couple of weeks ago I finally embarked on  my first starting seeds indoors venture, and I must say they are doing remarkable, nothing boosts once confidence like things thriving.
