Also, my peppers have started to sprout! I have a few from all 3 varieties coming up and can see a few more pushing through, I'm hoping all seeds will germinate so that I've got enough for the summer. If not, I will buy them as transplants at planting time. I seem to always have a hard time hardening off peppers so I may end up buying transplants anyways.
I subscribe to the email list from a few of the local seed companies and they suggested it's time to be planting: peppers, tomatoes, basil, petunias, onions, and impatiens. Yesterday I planted my tomatoes and basil, so I'm right on track. I will also be planting my cool wave pansies this weekend. I'm pretty excited for these because I've always liked pansies, and these can run up to 2 feet and will be in my hanging baskets this season (see picture below).
For growing seeds, I have my onions growing in a rinsed out plastic mushroom basket in a south facing window, and the rest of the seeds are in my basement under a grow light that is on for 14 hours per day right now.
