None, except for 5 Stick tomato seeds that I am test germinating from a late fermentation batch. Bit of a side story - I had to try to save some cuttings from a String of Pearls plant that I should never have bought at Home Depot - it looked a bit peaked, but not too bad, thought it was just dry. But after about a week at home I realized the roots were rotting, probably had totally dried out and then been kept too wet to compensate. Anyway, I put little pieces of stem into two of the little flower sized six packs, covered with a deli chicken dome. Some of the cuttings didn't make it, so I re-used those empty cells for the test Stick tomato seeds, I see at least one is starting to pop up. Too early for tomatoes for me, but I guess I can keep any that survive potted up in one of the south windows. At least now I know that seed batch has some good seeds.

Too many tomatoes to count. Semposia and Komatsuma.
Hopefully, the greens go in the raised bed today. Along with radish, lettuce and carrots. We will have rain off and on, so gonna grab a bite and see if I start to feel better.

I must resist the urge...it's still a little too early here... I don't want to have to re-pot up a lot... But I have a ton of Gomphrena seeds ready to start that I saved from last year's plants and a couple packs of Bunny Tails too...Pretty soon though...Getting the set-up ready in the cellar...
Too soon for the tomatoes too... You guys are quite the influence...I'm going to try again to grow romaine...was not successful the last time...
Toes tap-tap-tapping...

Down here were spring comes early, most everything that I start indoors has been started for a while: peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, tomatillos, cutting celery (that's a new one for me), and zinnias.
I am thinking about starting some summer squash indoors very soon, too. And some parsley as well. (My outdoors parsley has started to bolt early in this unseasonably warm weather.) Maybe some other herbs as well. But parsley in particular since it is such a slowpoke to get started from seed.

I planted radishes and turnips for the spring harvest, also planted sugar peas, carrots, and parsley it is suppose to get down to 19F here in a few days, so hopefully I did not plant them to soon

None. I can't plant and grow anything in February. I will be starting something, probably perennial flowers, in a month, and most garden veggies in April.

You guys are quite the influence... ahntjudy ,they are making me feel the same way but we need to remember they are in the SOUTH, we are not. I have not even made up my 2018 diagram yet or made a firm decision on what tomatoes I will be planting but I feel like I had better get on the ball.

Up in the North Country, we don't start peppers indoors until March (early) and tomatoes indoors until late March or early April.....
Nothing goes outdoors unprotected until late May and sometimes the beginning of June......
Our growing season is quite limited and we must take advantage of all the warm sun rays of summer that we can get....
Just can't wait to get started in a few weeks with the peppers, then the tomatoes will follow.....

begonias, ghost peppers, verbena, oregano, thyme, hanging basket petunias, non stop begonias, geranium, high tunnel tomatoes, container tomatoes, and probably a few more things I am forgetting without going to the greenhouse.

Chinense peppers the end of January.
Annuum peppers just yesterday.
Still looking for a few of last year's seeds that I'll plant in another month.

I almost always start parsley the week between Christmas and New Years because it can take a long time to germinate and then it grows slowly. Last week I started my peppers and a few have germinated. I had planned to start the tomatoes in about two weeks but I think we've decided to go away for a few days over the kids' spring break. If so, I want all the seeds up and under the grow lights while I'm gone, so I may start a bit earlier. Not too early. About 7 weeks before plant out. I sow basil at the same time as tomatoes. Usually zinnias two weeks after that.
