April 19th and happy birthday to me. It has always been the traditional day for me to start my first batch of seeds. The selection process is a grueling one with so many great seeds out there. I had a relaxing day at our cabin with the family as I made the final decisions for the lineup. I won't post yet until I see if they germinate as a couple of the seeds seemed like they may be hollow. Time will tell. I see Rocky did not take my advice on the use of soil heating cables. After I researched extensively on their use in Northeastern Pa. I discovered that using them in combination with molasses and kelp meal will be like ringing the dinner bell for all of the moles in the area to come bask in the heated soil and feast on the fresh roots. It can ruin a season in a hurry. Oh well, Rocky won't listen....he is a stubborn one,...whatever.
