Buttercrunch will grow just about anywhere! I plan to put in some sugar snap peas Feb 1 in my new Hugelkultur garden. I can also plant green onions, spinach, arugula, garlic and spinach.

SO, I bought tomato seedlings and planted them a few weeks later. EVERYTHING ended up growing, including the frostbitten original tomato seedlings! That's just Murphy's law... if I had not planted more seedlings the frozen ones wouldn't have grown

HFI_Matt ~ Humble Servant ~ OFFLINE ADMIN Posts: 927 Good Job(s): 108	Will you didn't waste no time Emily:) Welcome to the group my friend!!! I was thinking about buying like a little cheap greenhouse that I can put together to get things started. Of course that involves me acting on that thought process but then I always end up thinking "it will all work out" ha ha ha

If I didn't already have one, I would buy one. It's probably super cheap, but a good starter to see if it's something you'd like.

HFI_Matt ~ Humble Servant ~ OFFLINE ADMIN Posts: 927 Good Job(s): 108	Yeah, I was eyeballing one on Amazon:) I don't have a huge backyard so I don't really need to start too many plants. Something small like that would be perfect:)
