I've been bringing in some pots to start planting new herbs, and look what I found

[Siwsan]

A brand new little tomato plant has germinated! Kind of an early start, since it's just mid-February, but I'm going to do my best to keep it growing.

1. Mother Earth is saying HELLO SPRING:-)

[jberryhill]

2. Not the entire earth...

...since the Southern Hemisphere is going from summer into autumn.

[riversedge]

11. I measured 21 inches of new snow-from a last 10 days or so on my picnic table a few days ago

[jberryhill]

12. This weekend it will be heading toward the 90's in Melbourne, Australia

What Mother Earth is saying might depend on where she is being asked.

7. We got another 4" of snow, last night, so this was a much needed mood lifter

I'm already planning out my veg garden, and getting seeds ready to start, next month.

3. It looks like pot,.. quick call the police !

[Siwsan]

5. Well, since I'm in Michigan, even if it WAS pot, it would be BLISSFULLY legal!

Oh,.. let me go get my bong...

4. Almost looks like one of "left handed tomatoes".

Which reminds me---spring is nigh.

26. Yep! Book em Danno!!!

Hippies in the hood!!!

8. You have the best plants.. Believe me!

[2naSalit]

9. In the past I have found that "volunteers"

turn out to have some of the best tomatoes. Hope that one is a really good producer of very tasty toms!

[Siwsan]

10. I always find some volunteers in the back garden

and I compulsively transplant them - and they do produce some beauties!

13. i've got a couple of those too.

brought several hot peppers in buckets in the house for the winter, and now one of them has 3 tomato seedlings. about 3" tall.
cant resist keeping it.

spring is in full swing here on my little urban farm.
tons of peppers up, transplanting away, and 3 doz plus fantastic purple sweet potatoes growing.

[Siwsan]

14. I can't wait to get started on outdoor projects

I'm going to start some plants from seeds, next month. I would love to be able to get the plants in the ground by mid-May.

[mopinko]

15. i grow a lot for sale, and just the limits of my set up

i have to start early. have to shuffle things through seedmats, etc.

peppers can never be too big, and they can be sketchy, so i get them going in early as i can. mid january usually.
sweet potatoes that i kept from last year go when they go. i just potted up 3 doz+ of the tastiest, prettiest purple tuber ever. the earlier the better as the season is barely long enough for them here.

perennial herbs up now.
will do some cold tolerant stuff next, so i can get that in the hoop house.
then maters. maters, maters everywhere.

gonna get a new pop-up greenhouse for the roof soon. things will be safe there mid april i think.
i desperately need a real greenhouse.

drumph fatigue has really been getting to me. i am so glad to be growing.

17. Purple Sweet Potatoes..

What do they taste like? I've never had any.

[mopinko]

19. sweeter and more complex.

made a pie for thxgvg, and omg. what a pie. so striking. so good.

the purples were the only ones that came up, but i am fine w that. they were the ones i really wanted.
it's one thing i have had sourcing. ornamentals are pretty easy, but offbeat eaters come and go. this is the first time i have managed to keep them over winter and grow me own.
so very excited.

16. Spring is just around the corner. Just a month away; 3/20 🌻🌼🌸🌺🌷💐

[Mendocino]

18. I grow purslane.

It provides for omega 3 fatty acids.

20. my grandpa always started his tomatoes early. in the basement under florescent lights.

stacked high to get right under the light. he kept up his WW2 victory garden.

[flying_wahini]

21. I'm starting some seeds today. A few herbs, anyway.

[NeoGreen]

22. My mother calls these upstarts from previous year plants "Volunteers". (NT)

[cab67]

23. Very cool.

[handmade34]

24. that makes me happy

I have started my tomatoes but they are not up yet

I am starting peppers tomorrow, and then pumpkins and then.........

25. Trees started blooming last week here.
