Oh I also bought some strawberry plants at my local walmart. Allstar June-bearing and Quinalt ever-bearing. And I bout peed myself when I saw lily of the valley roots! From what my grandma always said they are practically extinct here so I grabbed a 3root bag and put it in a small pot till spring really gets going

If you were closer, I'd let you have all the lily of the valley you wanted.

I'm trying something different this year. Normally I buy onion sets. This year, I'm trying to start them from seeds. Rather than try to find enough room to start that many onions, I took a couple of foil baking dishes, filled them w/seed started, and sprinkled the seeds on top. Of course, they're bunched up in places, but if they sprout, I'll separate them when I transplant them.

I've often started all my kale, collards, cabbage that way. Just make a spot and sprinkle seeds, then separate later. I don't think I lose anymore than if I put seeds in sep pots....easier, too.

Saw (somewhere) that a gardener had put seeds on a damp paper, folder over & planted that to ease concerns about spacing. Oh, they used damp paper and let it dry before planting. You know, same as some of those expensive "seed tapes" sold at retailers.
