Gardening: An Early Start On Your Seeds

If you are like me and have seeds leftover from the past few years. Or harvested your seeds, then now is a good time to start the new year off with organizing them. I have done well with keeping my seeds dry and in a dark place.But they are so unorganized. I have them all in their packets or even envelopes. At least I have them labeled.

I started off with going through them and seeing if I had empty packets of seeds I needed to get for this year. I had some zucchini and tomatoes. I put those on my list. Then I went through my seeds that I had and wrote all of them down. Now having the list in front of you makes it much easier to plan out what you would like to plant for the spring season.

Being I am not living in Florida at the time I also had to look up the growing season here in New York. My garden will have to be planted accordingly.

Here are a few things I will be planting in the spring:

Lettuce
Radish
Arugula
Spinach
Carrots
Beets

I have some more ideas but I will be going to the store closer to spring to see what they have. I feel I am getting off to a good start this year with being organized. We have alot of compost which I will be using to start the seeds in last year like the tomatoes and green peppers. They grew so fast. I have a bigger section now to work with which was full of overgrown weeds last year.

How is everyone else getting themselves organized for their gardens?
