However I&#8217;m sure many of you are making plans for Spring. <\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t done this for a few years, but this year, come February or so I&#8217;m going to set up my seedling trays and start planting seeds.  If I remember correctly you have to start Asters, Impatiens and a few other plants quite early in order to have big enough plants for the end of May or early June planting.  Of course, the majority of plants that I&#8217;ll start indoors don&#8217;t need to  be planted until March ie Tomatoes. <\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Luckily I have a good stock of seeds in my cool basement storage. I hope that most of them are still viable!  I also collected seeds off a number of my plants this year ie Cosmo, Cleome, Liatris etc so I&#8217;ll be planting some of those in little pots and others right in the garden beds ones the soil is thawed in the Spring. <\/p>\n<p>I know that growing some of my own plants will cut our costs greatly.  As I said I haven&#8217;t grown my own seedlings for a few years now &#8230; instead I&#8217;ve purchased annual flowers and some veggies at a nursery in late spring or early summer &#8230; but enough of spending money on things i can grow on my own!  I just have to get started early enough.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Do you grow some of your own seedlings?
