I have been planting seeds to see how fast they germinate. Now that we have had a few days in the 80's (so unusual) things are germinating more quickly. The green beans I planted on the 7th germinated today, the 17th. I planted some the first of May and they took over two weeks to germinate. It was cold and rainy. The beans I stated in the garage look pathetic. I won't waste time or effort on planting them in the garage again. Same with spinach. Broc, peas, lettuce are different. Even the lettuce gets us a harvest weeks earlier if planted out as seedlings. But I have planted more to mature when the first batch finishes. I should have tried this years ago.
