If I remember correctly, you’re in Georgia. I’m surprised it’s not warmer and the plants aren’t more active than here.

It hasn’t been above 60 at all here in Jersey. But in the sun it’s been warm so I guess that is helping.

Peppers, peppers, more and bigger peppers...
Oh. And some tomatoes, petunias, basils, and marigolds.

Do you have such an amazing set up!
Have you ever considered entering some of your plants and veggies in your local 4-H fair?
It’s kind of fun!

Making me drool over the veggies you'll have this summer.
Can't wait to get mine in the garden as well. Daughter putting some in the 4h judging this summer again. Kids have a blast with it.

Damn! I’m still planting stuff indoors. For our area and zone, nothing can really get planted outside till after Mother’s Day.

I love that it's the time of year for this thread to come alive again!!
I love it.
What new stuff are you hoping for this year? I'm going for culver's root! And for the first time ever, I might get an echinacea to maturity
(I love them, they hate me..)

We’ve had really good luck with our echinacea. Growing them from seed is tricky business becaus they are typically take two years to mature and flower. I’ve noticed the same for daisies, coreopsis and a number of other annuals.I love that it's the time of year for this thread to come alive again!!

New stuff: not really. Herbs such as fennel and dill.
Same stuff. Tomatoes, gourds, pumpkins, sunflower, corn, zuke/squash, peppers, beets.
Flowers: sunflower, zinnia, marigolds, cosmo.

If anyone like marigolds or other plants that make
Lots of seeds, here’s how to harvest your own seeds and grow everything yourself.
Marigolds.
Dead head then when the flowers dry up and die.
Then pick the dried heads and put them in a dry container so they don’t rot.
Leave them in a garage or your freezer over the winter - this hardens the seeds and is called stratification.
Then plant in the spring just open up the dried flowers and they are full of seeds.

Got a bunch of seeds from local lady who does her own seeds. Just got to find time to get them planted.
