Probably hopeless, but I’ll ask.

Anybody know of an online source for garden seedlings?
Everywhere I’ve looked online is sold out or worse.

I have taken a chance by setting some seeds in pots whe using a mulch soil mix.

I am using half garden soil (a mix of soils sand mulch which I purchased from a nursery last year....10 yards) and half cedar and pine tree mulch from beneath a stand of trees on my lot.

These are not raw/green pine needles or cedar tree falls. They are brown and have decomposed.

I am adding a veggie fertilizer (2-6-3) to the mix.

I love the soil I bought last year but I think it could use some more organic material for seed starting.

I read several articles that said pine and cedar mulch is too acidic and others that say “nope.”

Any thoughts?

And my neighbor gave me some Hutterite beans to plant.

They are an heirloom variety and she says they are the best for making soups.....her husband said so as well when she was no longer standing there so there may be something to that.

Anyone ever grown these Hutterite beams before?
