Make a Fresh Start

A favorite pastime when the snowflakes flew in the Midwest was looking through seed catalogs and planning a beautiful spring garden. 

With the possibility of snow forecast for this week in Corvallis, perhaps it is time to not only dream of spring, but also to start some seeds, an economical way to get a jump on the season.

         
Gather your seeds and, using some recycled materials you may have on hand, start your early greens in a sterile seed-starting soil mix.  Put a heating mat under the tray of containers and some kind of light over the tray to give your plants a good warm start in life. 

Check this pdf for planting dates.  We're in Region 2 on the chart. https://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/downloads/v979v342w
