Re: Seed starting

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html


I have a similar cat.  Solution was to set up in the basement with 
fluorescent lights.  Cat is banned from basement.  I don't think you 
would be able to start seeds outside effectively.  As for Jenny Lind, I 
grew them a few years ago next to my garden fence.  They climbed right 
up it and were doing fine until the woodchucks broke into the garden.
