Welcome to another edition of our monthly gardening feature. As we're heading into February, a lot of us are excitedly gathering our seeds and possibly even getting seeds started indoors. Here's everything I'm doing in February!
A lot of us are seeing increased prices at the grocery store right now, and this is about the time of year I start craving fresh greens.
Though I can't quite grow anything outdoors as it's still snowing here in the Pacific Northwest, I can get some greens started inside so I can transplant them out into the high tunnel about three months earlier than I could if I waited to direct sow them outside.
In This Episode:
- Watch as I start greens indoors using seed starting trays, a heat mat and some grow lights, including the varieties I'm starting. Read this post to learn more about starting seeds indoors.
- My cheap and easy hack for trapping heat and moisture when starting seeds in cold areas.
- Come stay with us at the Norris Farmstead!
- Check out our upcoming in-person classes and workshops we're hosting here on the homestead (or at the new Farmstead).
- I show how well my potatoes have stored in the ground using this method of storing potatoes without a root cellar.
- Later this month I'll be sowing my tomato and pepper plants, you may be able to start now! Count backward from your last frost date to make sure it's not too early.
- Check out my favorite seed starting mats and grow lights.
- Grab my seed starting blueprint guide here.
- Check out my Harvest to Table monthly digital magazine!
- A sneak peek of the citrus I'll be growing this summer.
