As March brings 50-60°F warm days combined with all the
winter snows, our yards are showing slight signs of life. For many of us, this
tinge of greenness ushers forth images of what our 2024 gardens will hold. What will we grow – vegetables, annuals,
perennials? We know the last frost date
is two months away and now is the time to
start seeds indoors. As you eagerly grab
your seeds, pots, and soil to start your best garden ever, take a moment to
think about heat mats.
Do you have some old CD cases around? They are perfect for a science experiment to show beans sprouting with some potting soil. No CDs around – use a glass jar, and some cotton balls or crinkled up paper towels. Beans are easy to sprout and will benefit from presoaking for several hours – or overnight (up to around 12 hours).
