Thanks for your post Erin. I have only two trays down. Mostly heirloom tomatoes ( 10 different varieties). Some wierd peppers. … and plants they don’t sell in nurseries. I don’t have have a place to do a garden, but I am doing growing them in faith. I may end up giving them away, but I love gardening so much I had too. Thanks for doing your post. It is so encouraging.

I'm so glad you're growing plants! It's encouraging that you're planting for the beauty of it, even without knowing where they'll end up. And thank you for reading.

Inspiring post! Maybe we can actually grow some winter squash at our place if we start some seeds this month!

Very heartening to see your brave little seedlings. In these days of way-off-normal seasonal weather and crazy temperature fluctuations, food gardening feels a bit like an act of courage.

Thank you. You are so right, it does feel like an act of courage...I guess we are all taking a "leap" of faith!

I'm impressed with all your early starts! Gives me hope for another year. This year we'll just be trying to add more soil areas in our inherited gravel-dominant back garden. And interesting facts about the leap year! Thanks for an interesting read.

Thanks, Sabrina! This is the earliest we've ever started seeds. Best of luck on prepping your land! We started with compacted, poor quality dirt. It definitely takes sweat and tears to build a garden.

Such fun info about leap year! I struggled with feeling the pressure of having an “extra day” but ultimately had a much needed quiet day to process many thoughts.
