Everything looks fantastic, Anna! I am in awe of how neat (weed-free) your raspberry patch is. We have been so busy, and dealing with health issues, that ours looks like a hayfield!

Hi fellow gardeners! This year got off to a rainy cold start here in Durham region. Then too dry. And I was gone several weekends and did not water the berries. However things are coming along. I got 110 cups of strawberries and just started picking the raspberries.

Shown is raised garden beds, garlic with scapes picked 10 days ago, strawberries pick 3 weeks ago and my deck lettuce raised beds.

I'm not sure what's up, but I can't get my pictures to post right-side up!

Anyway, this is a dwarf tomato variety I'm trying this year, Coastal Orange Pride...



...and Dwarf Purple Heart...



There are a few more pictures in the "Home and Garden" section (I am never sure where to post - different members post in each thread! ).

Just wondering if anyone has started seeds indoors.

Just wondering if anyone has started seeds indoors.

I have not done it this year but I have tried in the past. It has not worked out well for me LOL. I tried tomatoes and I ended up with sprouts but I could not get them to a small plant stage.

Before COVID I bought a bag of Canna Lily bulbs at Costco and I have been thinking about trying to pot a couple in the house just for something to do. I have done Paperwhites for Christmas many times so I am a little more comfortable with the concept.

Have not started seeds indoors. Not enough table space in sunniest room to keep the seeds going.

The sprouts are dying, planning to add grow lights now.

This is where I have had trouble too.
I think there is quite a bit of skill to getting seedlings to be small plants.
Another thing I learned about this year is the hardening off process and I think if I were to do seeds indoors again I would harden them off before planting outside.
It is basically a way to gradually get them used to the outside rather than just putting them out and hoping they survive

@Paapu you have totally inspired me! I decided to try and start up some morning glories from seed. Fingers crossed I get them to at least sprout LOL
