How late in the season can you start a garden? Both my grandmothers were gardeners ( in Colorado), started their seeds outside, & some seed types were planted throughout the summer, ex. carrots & other roots. I am in Utah now & it's a bit more humid here than Colorado. Love the blog!

I was a little late in getting it started but thankfully I still got plenty from it. This year I am trying something different and starting my own seeds. Right now I am sticking with tomatoes but I have several varieties and am trying something else new and using newspaper pots to start them in. I posted some pictures on my site here: <br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://planting-seed.com/making-homemade-seed-starting-pots/</a><br /><br />Hopefully they hold together okay!Travishttp://www.planting-seed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-42119670780621051672011-05-23T11:32:07.667-07:002011-05-23T11:32:07.667-07:00I love plantsI love plantsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-26622782826431160122011-02-17T07:36:38.619-08:002011-02-17T07:36:38.619-08:00Elizabeth,

I think it would be better to buy plants this year if starting seeds it too overwhelming. I'm all about just doing what you can :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923385601755527594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-75409516293896971262011-02-17T06:18:25.233-08:002011-02-17T06:18:25.233-08:00Wow, great post!!

I may still try to do it but just buy plants vs seeds. <br />Look forward to reading more of your posts.<br />Peace & Raw Health,<br />ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072052243275334492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-7019290077305886102011-02-14T02:55:34.328-08:002011-02-14T02:55:34.328-08:00We are blessed to be able to plant seeds directly ...We are blessed to be able to plant seeds directly outdoors most of the year.

What seeds have you started Marisa?<br /><br />Here in the Northeast, if you don't start your seeds indoors you will never have enough time for your plant to mature and fruit before the fall cold sets in. I also like doing a spring planting which requires an early start as well (we still have snow on the ground!). I just started doing Seed Sowing Saturdays (check out my blog) and have 2 types of lettuce and broccoli started. Tomatoes will get done this week.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063352500918945042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-63839061430452146922011-02-13T18:11:30.183-08:002011-02-13T18:11:30.183-08:00Great article on how to start seeds.

Last year I bought a bad batch of seed from a big box store and not a single one germinated. I fooled with them so long that I ended up buying plants at the local nursery for the year.<br /><br />Have a great seed starter day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-14952780862903181012011-02-13T15:47:15.946-08:002011-02-13T15:47:15.946-08:00I love spring!

The seeds planted in place will catch up with those started indoors; so if you don't want to start indoors just wait a little longer and start your seeds in place.<br /><br />Don't forget to save some of your heirloom seeds for the future.MAYBELLINEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459481721591224275noreply@blogger.com
