seeds

Don't feel weird. You are NOT alone in your hankering to get stuff going or at least organize your seed collection. Montanans who like to garden are all in the same boat this time of year.

Seriously. You can't order your seeds right now due to overwhelming demand and COVID-19 protocols. Two of my favorites sites are currently not taking orders. At all.

I know I'm not the only one who's itching to get some seeds started. Heck, I might start some this weekend just to keep myself out of trouble even though it's a bit early.

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.

It never fails. As soon as winter begins, I start daydreaming about gardens blooming and pots full of fragrant herbs on the front porch. However, we've got a ways to go before seeds should even be started. Didn't stop me from ordering a bunch of seeds for the upcoming season though!

Gardening is a hobby. A profession for some, but most of us just enjoy the simplicity of growing herbs, vegetables, flowers and other plants because we CAN.

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.

Spring is a great time to spend with kids learning the basics of gardening. There are several easy-to-grow options that you can start inside for almost instant results. The more results kids see, the more interested they become.

Zone 4 gardening is frustrating. Our frost free date isn't until late June, so starting seeds indoors in January might be jumping the gun a little. I don't care. I did it anyway. Here's what I've got planned:

Bozeman has a serious case of Spring Fever. Almost every woman I know has turned at least a corner of their living room into a seed starting nursery, desperate for warmer temps so we can finally get outside.
