I’m still working on a plan of action for this year’s garden, but the last frost date was moved up by almost a month this year – last weekend in January! So I feel like I’m behind already.

I am going to try starting some seeds using a soil blocker I just got from Amazon. I spent some time this morning making blocks and planting seeds. Now there are 8 blocks each seeded with black cherry tomatoes, sweet basil, black beauty zucchini, and red marietta marigolds. Once planted, I put the trays on my newly acquired heating mat.
