indoors

Every year I start plants early, indoors. Some make it to their ultimate destination on the porch outside,..others become "teachable moments". These Nasturtium I grew from seed and are doing well.

Spring has official begun and Cardinal Climbers starts are doing well in a sunny living room window. Bozeman's never ending struggle of trying to balance a short growing season and starting things too soon inside is a fun challenge for me.

Again this year, I can't resist. Starting a few seeds - some will still, some won't. Basil to be practical and a few flowers just to see what happens. Our true growing season is a long way off but "babying" a few plants is an incredibly effective winter therapy.

In this week's Bozeman, Montana gardening experiment we started some Sweet Pea seeds indoors. So far so good...and these aren't ordinary Sweet Peas.
