    We plant all heirloom mators. Heirloom & Organic Tomato Seeds It helps to use a good seed starter soil too.

    Do you save your seeds from year to year?

    Butcher curious how the cold frames are working out for you given the change of weather... Hope they didn't freeze up on you.

    The radishes look ok after we got down to -8°F the other night.

    Stuff we start in the house this time of year is doing good but will need to get a bit warmer at night before we put them out into our green house.
    Mators, peppers, egg plant, cabbage,kohlrabi, broccoli, basil, cauliflower and some other stuff.

    I am more curious to see how our garlic wintered over this year what with the fluctuating temps we have had and the lack of snow to help insulate the bulbs. It was up a little bit late last fall when I strawed them in for their winters nap but I hate to uncover them just yet. We shall see.
