I got my first seeds in the dirt this afternoon. I think they will be safe from frost by the time they come up, but I stuck with stuff I could afford to lose, just in case.

My peas have not come up yet, I suspect the will in a few days. I stuck with climbing snow peas. Nothing like fresh peas in the garden. I cut scion wood today for my apple and pear tree grafting, I have about 30 starts to graft this year.

I no longer plant many seeds or grow any of my own starts...
Instead, I dig all of my cana bulbs each fall, store them in a cool place and replant them in the early spring. I always have a LOT of them left over, so I take them to my local green house, where the owner trades me all the veggie plants and seeds I need, even up for them...
She sells them and everyone is happy...

I sell potted Cana's for the greenhouse each year at my market
At the farm were I work we grow the tall gladiolus for cutting and sell them bunched at the farm stand and farmers market. My boss never digs up his 500 bulbs to save, just replaces them each year so in my off time I dig and save all the bulbs I want. I used to grow glads before and I will continue too. I have close to 1000 bulbs right now and years ago when I just a boy there was a local gladiolus farm here in town. People came from far and wide to see them blooming and buy flowers!

We had three glad farms here in Calhoun and Jackson County Florida. One of them bought a couple thousand acres just to the south of my place. But most of the glads have moved down to Mexico now. They grow cotton, wheat, sod and run cows where the glads used to grow. For years my Mamma would go down and get a truck load of the flowers after they had shipped.
