I started seeds yesterday (admittedly a couple weeks late, but given the past winter, maybe not). Now to see if the really old seeds sprout at all.

I also planted my second round of peas, in the hope that this time they won't rot before they germinate, unlike what presumably happened to the first batch. However, last night and tonight reached well into the 30s, which peas Just Don't Like. I may have to plant a third batch. Either that, or I need to get a newer batch of peas, as these are rather old.

Go, little plants!

peas love cold! at least to germinate. they like a cold period and if they make it through the wet without rotting, they do pretty well. I haven't tried fake stratification of peas, like putting them in the fridge for a week or two, then planting outside.

I had to bring inside all my plants that had been hardened off. grr. At least the 80 deg weather didn't fool me enough into actually planting anything.

I planted my peas, spinach, beans, and mesculn. Most of those things like cold weather, and since I had just planted them at the beginning of this week, I'm hoping that the really cold weather didn't bother them (since they were still seeds). I also have a few pumpkin and gourd seeds along with some eggplant seeds started here inside.

So, yeah, I agree with the sentiment... Go little seeds, go!
