My grandmother planted peas every year around her birthday. every year we had peas. I do the same....but....afgh. I'll keep trying.
She also planted her tomato seeds in cut milk cartons in February, set them on the dining room windows. By summer,. we had tomatoes galore! The plants never damped off, always produced, no problems. She didn't use fancy cultivars or gear. She was beyond frugal.
We planted orange pips, avocado pits anything I thought about. They grew too!
I wish she were around to give me some pointers. She would have gotten a kick out of sharing seeds with people all over the world and hearing about their lives and gardens.
