I usually plant starters that I grow from seed. It takes a lot of work and a lot of room. So I decided this year to grow directly from seed for nearly everything. We have such a long growing season why get a jump on things? My calendar is notifying me everyday that something needs to be transplanted. Today it was peppers. So I guess I should start the seeds? The thing is the weather has been cool. It was much warmer in december. Put the seeds in now and I don't think they would germinate.
