What do I want to Plant this year?

The question is which Vegetable, Flower or Herb do I want to eat or enjoy? This sounds pretty simple, and yet it’s not. If you are planting a vegetable garden, will you be eating them all now, or will you be freezing or canning?

Starting Seeds Indoors

Start with a seed starting container with good drainage. A disease free, loose planting medium, kept evenly moist. An appropriate amount of light. And last but not least the correct germination temperature. You can purchase these kits, or you can find household things that work just as well. For instance you can use cutoff milk containers or foam cups to start your tomatoes in. Remember to poke holes in the bottom of whatever you use for drainage. If the pot doesn’t drain your plant will not grow.

The Roots of 2B Seeds Company
Our Family

2Bseeds has emerged from four generations of professional and commercial growers. Starting in 1919 in Golden Valley, MN we were pioneers in what has evolved into today’s world of hothouse tomatoes and vegetables for the local market. Over the years we expanded into growing bulbs, fresh cut flowers and bedding plants from private selections and genetics. We strongly believe that the best gardening results start from the best beginnings, and that is what we are making available to you, our customer. Our primary focus is to ensure that you are successful in your plantings with quality seeds.

Caring for Seedlings and Germination Temperatures

For each seed there is a right soil temperature for germination. When the soil is either too cool or too warm fewer seeds will germinate. And will take longer to do so. A long germination will stress the plant at the very beginning of their life, which will mean they will not grow as fast or have great immune systems to warrant off stresses from insect, changes in temperatures, moisture levels. For the best germination and strongest seedlings, seeds need soil that not only starts out at the correct temperature, but stays that way.

Raised Beds Improve your Garden Performance

When you are planning your garden keep this in mind, the width of your bed is determined by your space and comfort and the depth of your mounds of soil is for the benefit of your plants needs. The width depends on the ability to reach its center to weed, prune, cultivate and harvest. For staked and or trellised plants, use a narrower bed. However you choose your widths keep in mind that the raised beds are now reserved for your plants and not to be walked on.
