February may be too early fo r seeding vegetable transplants in the home. In ste a d , a g ro n o m ists recommend giving some attention to preparing garden soil, checking through seed catalogs and getting ready for the spring rush to plant bedding plants. Most gardeners tend to plant seeds too early, both in the home as transplants and later in the garden before the soil warms. If you plan to grow trans plants. don’t plant the seeds indoors until a month or so'* ahead of when the seedlings can be planted outdoors. This means that cool season crops such as cab bage, lettuce and early spinach, which should be transplanted outside in April in western Oregon, can be started outdoors from mid to late February. Wait until March in the higher elevations of central and eastern Oregon. Peppers and tomatoes, which cannot go into the garden until after the last frost in early May in western Oregon, would not need to be started indoors until early March East of the Cascades, wait until April. Growing your own trans plants is a good way to get the varieties you want and to watch the young plants grow But when started too early, ti»e seedlings become leggy and spindly before they can be planted outside. As a result, they are weak and poorly prepared to survive in the garden. Using a pasteurized soil m ix w ill help prevent damping off. First make a soil-mixture combining one part loam soil, one part peat moss or screened compost, and one part sand or perlite. To pasteurize, stir the components together, place them in a two or three inch deep baking pan and bake __ Reg 319.99 - • Powerful and' versatile • Built-in manual brake • Cuts 3” deep • Strong cast iron arm with upper and lower blade guards #7730 Reg 26.99 - • Sharpens metal tools shapes and finishes wood • Includes drill-powered belt sander (drill not included), drill bracket, sharpening guide attachm ent #74-495 »{ Poulan 16” Chain Saw Reg 188.99 - • Solid state ignition for reliable starts • 2.3 cu.
