If you are doing the planting...

Sunday, March 30, 2008

Just a reminder to all of you out there that is almost time for you to be planting your own seeds. Check your last frost date on this link... then count back and see how long your seeds need for germination (you an find that out on the package or on sites seen in this post).

I find planting one week after the last predicted frost date good as it is nice to give your soil a nice turn over and time to add in what you want. If you are in Hamilton you may want to wait two or so weeks as the free mulch and compost is not available until almost two weeks after the last frost date.

A reminder also to watch the garden spots that you want to plant in, to see what sun it gets at what time of each day. It is important to read the seed packets or search on the web to find out what kind of sun the veggies you want to plant needs. Therefore finding the right spot in your garden for each veggie.

Planting the seeds inside is a great part of gardening that kids can be part of too! You can even get a container that each of them can be in charge of.

Happy planting!!!
