Feb. 23:
Started 68 broccoli and 8 cabbage and 32 bachelor's buttons indoors- on a folding table in front of the window in the living room. (update: the broccoli germinated really quickly at almost 100%, cabbage 7 out of 8, and bachelor's buttons 25%)
(ordered LOTS of seeds online-www.rareseeds.com and gurnsey.com and http://sustainableseedco.com/ and bought some at Olsen's nursery)
At Olsens Nursery I paid $40 for 18 flats of seed pot packs and 2 big bags of soil-less seed starting "dirt"
