Today (before it started raining) I decided to start some seedlings. I used a Burpee 72 cell tray and two egg cartons to germinate my seeds. I'm not sure which seeds should be started indoors, but I found a chart at the Seed Bank and decided to go off of it!

| not sure if Cotati is consider coastal or inland, so I tried find the common ground between both sides of the chart |
Today I planted Marigolds - petite and regular, cucumber, onion, cauliflower, broccoli, parsley, thyme, basil, and oregano. It was crazy to see the difference in seed size, shape, and color. Thyme, basil, and oregano were so small I think I put about 20-40 seeds in each cell. I was surprised to see that onion seeds look like small black pebbles.

Now I'm going to watch and wait. Hopefully these seeds turn into little seedlings over the next several weeks. I think I'll do most of my planting end of April/beginning of May.
Even though it is raining today... it is beginning to look like SPRING!!!
