WHAT DO YOU GROW FROM SEED??

[Kale]

I sow almost all my veggies from seed which is less then years earlier, but still quite a few about 25 different veggies along with* several herbs, annual and perennials.

I find it to be a true learning experience and a wonderful feeling of accomplishment* from when* they germinate till after harvesting* comes in play!

We grew our Strawberries, corn, Petunias, and soon to be rhododendrans from seed. We also just got some Japanese Yew (So we can make our own topiaries) and Fire and Ice Hosta seeds. I'm not nearly as experianced as some folks.

I also feel a great sense of satisfaction growing from seed.* Just just hard to wait and sometimes while I am waiting I purchase plants (like tomatos).* A few days later the seed will germinate and then I have too many plants.

One interesting thing though.* Located in Zone 5, I was really surprised to see that a few of the Tomato fruits that I turned under the ground last year are popping up out of all over the place.* I might try this again this year but in an organized fashion.

Do you think the seeds were insulated by the fruit over the winter?

The same happened with a few of the kids pumpkins that we let rot "just to see what would happen" now I'm really in for it...we have pumpkin plants all over the bank in the yard!

I also find it very cathartic to take the heads off my own flowers and remove the seeds.* Educational Session and a FREE Therapy session!

Any advice as to the best times to harvest the seeds from the flower heads or instructions for the best results?

What do I grow from seed? Just about everything, as we have a short growing season here and it helps to sprout seeds indoors while waiting for the snow to melt.* This year, we did* veggies including tomatos* and various peppers, squash,, green bens, both string style and flat "Italian" varieties.*Flowers include marigolds, phlox, zinnias and the ones I can't think of right now!:?
