Maybe wait a bit on the planting. This year you got the weather we usually get. We had about an inch of snow all winter season long. Totally unusual for the Treasure Valley. It only dropped to the low 20s. It usually gets down to 2-12 degrees. I will plant May 1-8, all outside, & most will grow.
Beautiful!The best time to thin seedlings is when you're already overwhelmed because that resistant feeling you get not wanting to pull perfectly good seedlings, completely disappears and you're ready to just throw them all in the trash
Aggressively thinned! Gonna have to put alot of plants at the road stand for sale when the thaw comesalso you'll all be proud of me, everything has LABELS lol

Thanks! I'm still more than 6 to 8 weeks out from last frost so these are my slow starting herbs, flowers and peppers. Hoping to get all my produce seeds started in 1.5 - 2 weeks!
Give the thinnings from anything edible / not poisonous to the chickens, if you aren't already. That way (ime) it feels less like just killing healthy seedlings for no reason.The best time to thin seedlings is when you're already overwhelmed because that resistant feeling you get not wanting to pull perfectly good seedlings, completely disappears and you're ready to just throw them all in the trash
For the ones that I pull out I do, for the ones that I just snip at soil level I just mix into the potting soil in their little pot to break down haha the chickens get basil and pepper microgreens like I'm some fancy restaurant
