2024 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
mattie g posted a topic in Mid Atlantic
Most epic pattern since 2009-2010 is appearing to be a fail, so let's get the green-season party started! All things related to growing and mowing in our little corner of growing zone 8a can go in here. I went to the local nursery this weekend and picked up seeds and starter mix for this year. Planning to get first seeds under lights this coming weekend. Can't wait to get going! -
2023 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
mattie g posted a topic in Mid Atlantic
Figured I should get this going since I noticed some of the local early-budding trees (silver maples?) were swelling just a bit after the recent mild spell. I'm sure I'll have to mow in a couple weeks. That really got me thinking about getting my seedlings started, which I now realize is only about a month away. And let's admit it...this winter is toast anyways, so we might as well start thinking about spring! -
