		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re sowing our seeds right now for growing transplants that we&#8217;ll plant out in the garden. It takes some work, but you can save quite a bit of money growing your own transplants. Another huge advantage that may be even more important is being able to grow the varieties you want rather than relying on [&#8230;]]]></description>

Each year we write the date on the seed containers, that gives us a starting point. Some seed packs slipped through our system though and had no date on [&#8230;]]]></description>

Those little onion bulbs, called sets, that you find in the garden center were grown last year from an onion variety selected for good storage characteristics, not flavor.

		<description><![CDATA[In my last post we discussed damping off, a fungal disease that attacks and kills developing seedlings. A clean growing medium will minimize the occurrence of damping off.  And a seed starting mix can be pasteurized by pouring boiling-hot water through it. Once the seeds have germinated and the newly emerged plants are off to [&#8230;]]]></description>

Gardeners  on the other hand, are calculating the number of weeks until the last frost. That date is far more useful for gardeners than the vernal equinox. At this time, we are somewhere [&#8230;]]]></description>

I suppose that&#8217;s the whole point of the catalogs, to make us excited about the up coming gardening season so we buy something we may [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Plants need light for photosynthesis and without light they can&#8217;t grow. But not all light is equal. If you remember from your middle school science class, sunlight contains many colors or wave lengths of light. Plants mainly use the blue and red part of the light spectrum and not much else. Seedlings need good quality [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many long time gardeners have tried to save seeds only to let them go after a year or two. There&#8217;s been a few times in years past when, for one reason or another, I&#8217;ve let varieties slip through my fingers. The best luck I&#8217;ve had is keeping my own variety of tomato seeds for years, as [&#8230;]]]></description>
