Planting

 It is finally a beautiful day in Twin Falls, ID

so that means it is time to plant

some seeds outside. 

Today I am planting the sweet peas

I started indoors, along with some

lettuce and spinach.

I had a hand full of lettuce and spinach sprouts

from starting them indoors.

I will take some seeds and directly plant some

outside today.

Sweet peas, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, carrots and 

a few other vegetables like the colder weather

and don't do well in the heat of the summer. 

You can look for planting instructions on the back of your seed packet.

Pay attention to the map on the back of the 

seed packet. This map will help you know

when it is a good time to plant this seed outside.

The zone map will also help you pick 

out seeds for your area.

All of the sweet peas, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, and spinach

have been planted.

I will save the rest of my plants

until the weather is warmer to get them into the ground.

Typically, Mother's Day in Idaho is an excellent time

to plant everything outside because it is past the

last frost date.

If your plants become too big for your cells.

You can transplant them into a larger container.

I recycled a soda bottle to plant my

pumpkin and watermelon plants.

This larger container gives the roots plenty of 

space to continue growing.
