It's that time of year when an overwhelming phenomenon overtakes us. And when I say US, I mean gardeners.

Yesterday morning after my quick walk to the mailbox, I gathered my seed containers to add a few loose packets of seeds I've been receiving in the mail and picking up here and there, and set to finishing my inventory and seeing which seeds I would be sprouting first for the season. Well, as I flipped through the boxes and packets, a paralyzing event took over me. Before I knew it, a bag of seed starter soil, peat pods and other miscellaneous planting items appeared before me.

I'm not sure what took over my brain, but soon my fingers were in the soil; scooping out 1/4 cups of dirt at a time. Then the seeds started jumping into the cups and peat pods. Heaven help me!

As I scooped the dirt and watered the peat pods, I kept telling myself, "It's OK... If they sprout too soon before I can move them outside into the greenhouse before the last frost of the season, I can always put them in my grow tent inside." Yup.. I was VERY convincing!

So What's Been Started?

I have two trays like this; one is peat pods and this one has the cups pictured above.
Seedlings include:

Scarlet Runner beans
Sunflowers (dwarf & evening sun)
Little gem lettuce
Luffa Gourds
Some extra herbs- oregano, dill, chives and basil
Feverfew
Lemon Balm

NOTE- Thank you @fernowl13 for the Scarlet Runners and @beatitudes8 for the Luffa Gourds!

I carefully went through my selections before choosing which ones to start with. The way I am scheduling all my seedlings will be precise and for a reason. I have the next set in mind; which I am hoping to start in the peat pods in the next week. I am getting a jump on the planting season as I have the grow tent set up and already in use. I have a few plants and herbs already in the tent, but can always make room for more. Plus I have the gardening table cleared off and ready for action. I have a 150-watt grow light fixture hanging over the table, so any overflow from the grow tent, can go here.

It won't take but a moment to move my wine as it continues to ferment in the secondary phase. Other than that, the table is ready for ACTION!
