I grow indoors during the winter using an AeroGarden hydroponic system. Mostly growing herbs for fresh cooking and dehydrating. I planted a tomato some weeks ago and moved to a soil pot. These were some cuttings I took from it and a basil cutting. They have rooted nicely and will be a nice kick-start for my summer garden. I’ll be starting the rest of my seeds soon using the hydroponic garden.

Deepwoodsbutcher Looks good. I have never had any luck starting my own plants from seed. They sprout and then end up dying. I finally gave up on it.

Looks like you got it down. I think my "black thumb " would keep me from gardening. My plastic plants get sick and die!

RON PARRISH I went to school for greenhouse and landscape management. I had 2 years of learning to sprout and grow plants. It’s a science. It doesn’t always work out for me either

Gettin the beds ready. My seeds were hit or miss this year so may be buying some plants but we’ll see. Lettuce, arugula, and mustard greens direct sown doing ok.
Pulled some “weeds” out of the garden today. Got me thinking because what I was removing was all foragable plants. Chickweed, purple dead nettle, etc. Anyone else on here do any foraging? Recently tried some trout Lilly which was great. Also a big fan of Japanese knotweed. Also reminded me how I would like to try my hand at some mushrooms. Maybe this year. Thinking of doing logs but may start with a bun and take it from there.

Surg Japanese knotweed is an invasive species here. You can’t bring it into the state. We have a patch at our property that we are trying to kill right now. The root system goes down up to 25’. The problem is it is tight next to the creek so we have to be careful with herbicides since it’s a salmon bearing stream as well. The stuff is terrible, almost like kudzu since it a rhizome. We do have a secret weapon, the weed wacker with the brush blade and weekly cutting to the ground then Round Up dosed into each individual plant cell.

I tilled today. My seeds did pretty good this year with the exception of my hot banana peppers.
The tomatoes in the picture are from seeds sent to me by my cousin in Florida. He got them about 10 years ago from my dad, who mailed them to him and my cousin kept them going every year. This past Christmas he sent me seeds in a Christmas card with a note about being from my Dad’s seed crop. My cousin says they are a yellow tomato. If you look at the label, I just named them “Dad’s Yellow”. I transplanted 6 into some larger pots this weekend to get the roots spreading out from the seedling flats. Its still several weeks away from putting anything in the ground here and the plants will also need to be hardened off.

Surg made a mushroom bed of wine caps last spring, those were easy to grow. I am expecting another good season with them and will be trying some other varieties this year.
