Planting from seed

Over and over again farmers in NC tell me they create their vegetable gardens from store-bought plants instead of seeds. If anyone truly knew my method of gardening, they would know I am die-hard: lunar, organic, heirloom, non-gmo, permaculture kind of method.

There are many wonderful sites for heirloom seeds. The website I order from, in my experience, has a high success rate of its seeds sprouting. My favorite option to order is their 99 cent samplers because I don't plant enough seeds to need more than what they provide in the sampler packs.

Spring Seeds

So here we are in the last week of February. I am behind as usual, 'cause I have so many ideas and no experience to execute them!
Here are the seeds I am planting now.  Those below the ground:

• Carrots
• Onions
• Turnips
• Potatoes

are planted directly into the soil here in NC. Those above ground:

• Broccoli
• Spinach
• Celery
• Lettuce
• Peas

are planted indoors here in NC.
