The first seeds of the season

We are going to do everything from seed this season.  The first seeds went in last week - the onions.  I planted 40 seeds and so far all are up and growing. 

The seeds come in because I want to focus on costs this year.  So far I have spent $115 on seeds and some seed growing supplies (I order from Park Seed http://www.parkseed.com/ - its located in South Carolina and do a pretty good job).  I spent $14 on the lattice for the now defunct compost bin and I spent $30 on compost.  Running total right now is $159 - we'll see if the garden pays for itself after the season is over. 

Here is a picture of the onion seeds coming out.  Mom gave me a greenhouse - I put it up and put a couple of boxwoods in there already.  The seeds will go from here to jiffy pots in the greenhouse when the time is right.  Oh and the boxwoods - the traffic to the new trampoline was not kind to them - I pulled them up and potted them to get them started. 

Next to get planted will be the green onions in mid January - a couple of things in February and then most all of the seeds starting inside should be in started by March.

Will start Carrott, dill, beans right into the ground to start from seed.
