Starting Vegetable Seeds Indoors and Out

There are three ways to get your vegetable garden growing:

  • Sow seeds directly in the garden.
  • Start seeds indoors and transplant them to the garden when the weather warms.
  •  Transplant seedlings purchased at the garden center into the garden.

Starting seed indoors will give you the following:

  • Earlier harvests allow you to stretch the growing season.
  • Wider choice of cultivars than available for sale at garden centers.
  • Protection from early pests, soilborne diseases, and unpredictable weather
  • Savings: seeds are cheaper than store-bought transplants.
  • The satisfaction that you have grown your very own plants.

Crops best started from seed in the garden

Some crops are not easily transplanted into the garden. These crops simply want to be handled as little as possible; they are too small or too delicate as seedlings to be moved from one place to another. And when it comes to thinning, it’s best to simply cut the thinnings of these crops off at soil level rather than lift them from the bed. Start these crops from seed in the garden:

  • Beets
  • Carrots
  • Corn salad
  • Garden cress
  • Parsnips
  • Rutabaga
  • Salsify
  • Turnips
Kale in plastic cell packs
Kale seedlings started indoors in plastic cell packs

Crops best started from seed indoors

Some crops do poorly in outdoor germination conditions–the soil or air temperature must be optimal for success. Started indoors these crops gain the strength necessary to do well in the garden.

Cool-weather members of this group need a head start indoors because they must reach maturity when the weather is cool, before spring turns warm. But the cold air and soil temperatures of late winter are too cold for them to begin growing. Start these crops indoors and set them in the garden to come to maturity before it gets hot.

  • Broccoli
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Cabbage
  • Cardoon
  • Cauliflower
  • Celeriac
  • Celery
  • Florence fennel
  • Kale

Warm-weather members of this group generally take 100 or more days to reach harvest. Started from seed in the garden when the weather is finally warm enough (temperatures consistently in the 60s or above) they are likely to run out of growing season or hold space in the garden that could be used by quicker-maturing cool-weather crops earlier in the season. They are best transplanted into the garden when the soil and air temperatures are right. Started indoors these plants will be well developed when they go to the garden; you won’t have to thin these plants. These crops include:

  • Cucumbers
  • Eggplant
  • Melons
  • Peppers
  • Squash
  • Tomatoes

Crops to start indoors or outdoors

Some crops start outdoors just as well as they will start indoors. They are not finicky. Cold climate gardeners–gardeners with short growing seasons–often add these crops to those started indoors. The indoor start allows these crops to go into the garden as soon as the soil is workable (with the exception of corn–which will prefer to wait until outdoor temperatures are consistently in the 60s or above).

  • Chinese cabbage
  • Chard
  • Collards
  • Sweet corn
  • Endive
  • Escarole
  • Kale
  • Kohlrabi
  • Leeks
  • Lettuce
  • Mustard
Beans seeds sown in the garden
Beans being sown directly in the garden

Crops to direct sow in the garden or biodegradable pots

Several warm-weather crops do not like being transplanted–their roots are too sensitive. These crops are best started directly from seed in the garden or in individual containers such as biodegradable peat pots or newspaper pots that can be set in the garden.

If you start these crops in plastic pots avoid bending or squeezing the root mass when you transplant them to the garden.

If you sow these crops directly in the garden, thin extra seedlings by cutting them off even at the soil level rather than lifting them and disturbing the roots of the seedlings nearby.

  • Beans
  • Cucumbers
  • Muskmelons
  • Okra
  • Peas
  • Pumpkins
  • Squash
  • Watermelon
Celeriac started indoors
Celeriac started indoors

Crops easily started indoors

First-time seed starters should start with seeds that are easy to germinate and seedlings that can withstand transplanting. If you want to gain experience starting vegetables indoors and avoid first-timers’ frustration, start with any of these crops:

  • Asparagus (dormant)
  • Basil
  • Broccoli
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Cabbage
  • Chinese cabbage
  • Cauliflower
  • Celeriac
  • Celery
  • Chives
  • Collards
  • Eggplant
  • Endive
  • Escarole
  • Garlic
  • Kale
  • Kohlrabi
  • Leeks
  • Lettuce
  • Mustard
  • Okra
  • Onions
  • Parsley
  • Peppers
  • Radicchio
  • Rhubarb( dormant)
  • Shallots
  • Sunchokes (dormant)
  • Tomatoes
  • Tomatillos

Crops not grown from seed

Not all vegetables are started from seed. Root divisions, cuttings, and cloves are used to get some vegetables started. Most of these crops are best started directly in the garden, but many can also be started indoors and transplanted out: artichokes: start from root divisions.

  • Asparagus: start from 1-year-old roots.
  • Garlic: start with cloves.
  • Horseradish: start from root cuttings.
  • Onions: start from sets, seeds, or small plants.
  • Potatoes: start with “seed potatoes”–pieces of potato.
  • Rhubarb: set out root crowns.
  • Shallots: start with cloves.
  • Sweet potatoes: start from slips transplants

Angel Fierro Edges Brayan Zamarripa With Split Decision in Fire-Fight – Boxing News

Auditorio Municipal Fausto Gutiérrez Moreno, Tijuana – In the main event, a battle of lightweights saw fire-fight, with Angel Fierro (22-1-2, 7 KOs) getting all he could handle with a ten round split decision over Brayan Zamarripa (13-2, 4 KOs).

The scores were 96-94 for Fierro, 96-94 for Zamarripa, and 96-95 for Fierro.

It was back and forth at close range in the first two rounds, with Fierro landing the bigger punches. Zamarripa was boxing well and landing accurate punches. Fierro continued to push forward in the third with heavy blows. 

In the fifth, Fierro hurt Zamarripa with a right hand and had him on the run for a moment. Fierro poured on the pressure during the sixth and appeared to be wearing Zamarripa down. The left eye of Zamarripa was cut. 

During the seventh, Zamarripa badly hurt Fierro with a shot to the body and then unloaded with combinations from both hands. Fierro was able to weather the storm, likely due to Zamarripa’s lack of punching power. He then rallied in the final minute with heavy blows that buzzed Zamarripa. 

While Fierro did well in the eighth, Zamarripa was digging to the body and landing accurate shots in the ninth. In the tenth and final round, Fierro came out firing bombs and landed a huge right hand that had Zamarripa out on his feet. Fierro went for the finish but couldn’t get the job done, as Zamarripa was able to survive until the bell.

Super bantamweight Erika Cruz (15-2, 3 KOs) bounced back from her February decision loss to Amanda Serrano with a ten round unanimous decision over Melissa Oddessa (6-2, 2 KOs).

The scores were 99-91, 99-91 and 98-92.

During the eight round, there was a bad clash of heads that created cuts on both boxers. Cruz’s cut, around her hairline, was the more severe of the two.

Cruz was the busier and more accurate of the two, with plenty of toe-to-toe exchanges with Oddessa.

In a featherweight fight, Christian Olivo (21-1-1, 7 KOs) scored a minor upset with a ten round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Kevin Crespo (12-1, 9 KOs).

It was a back-and-forth brawl at times, and both were seriously hurt during moments of the fight and were forced to overcome some rocky waters. Olivo had rocked Crespo several times in the second rounds.

The scores were 97-93, 97-93 and 96-94 for Olivo.

For the WBC interim-featherweight title, Skye Nicolson (8-0, 0 KO) easily outboxed Sabrina Maribel Perez (18-2-1, 2 KOs) over ten rounds. The scores were 99-91, 98-92 and 97-93.

In the aftermath, there was a medical emergency outside of the ring when the trainer and husband of Perez fainted and collapsed.  He was taken on a stretcher to a local hospital.

In a heavyweight scrap, unbeaten prospect Federico Pacheco (5-0, 4 KOs) knocked out Carlos Cardenas (4-1) in the third round.

Pacheco, who suffered a bad cut above his left eye, dropped Cardenas twice in the third from heavy body shots to force the stoppage. 

Pacheco: Blossoming Love for the Philippines

Portrait of Rosa de Lima Pacheco

Pacheco: Blossoming Love for the Philippines

In the annals of the Philippines’ rich history, few figures stand out quite like Pacheco. Born in a small coastal town in Luzon in 1892, Pacheco’s enduring love affair with his homeland would shape his destiny and leave an indelible mark on the nation.

Pacheco was brought up in a modest family, with little material wealth but an abundance of love and pride for their country. From a young age, he absorbed tales of bravery and resilience that echoed through generations – stories of indigenous heroes who resisted colonization and fought for independence. These familial narratives ignited a spark within Pacheco, igniting his passion for Philippine culture and identity.

As he matured, Pacheco embarked on a journey to bolster this fervor by immersing himself in academia. His hunger to learn pushed him to Manila’s prestigious University of Santo Tomas, where he delved into history books that narrated centuries-old struggles against Spanish colonizers. With each turning page, his admiration for those who fought before him grew stronger.

Pacheco’s intellectual pursuits took him beyond national borders as well. He ventured to libraries across Europe, scouring archives for forgotten tales that shed light on the Filipino struggle for liberation. In Prague’s National Library, he stumbled upon documents from fellow countries oppressed under colonial rule; these findings deepened not only his understanding but also his solidarity with other nations fighting for emancipation.

The turning point came when Pacheco uncovered journals outlining the tumultuous period surrounding August 23rd – now celebrated as Ninoy Aquino Day— which marked one of the darkest periods during Ferdinand Marcos’ authoritarian regime. This newfound knowledge fueled him with a sense of urgency; he realized that historical amnesia allowed despots like Marcos to thrive while suppressing collective memory.

Returning to the Philippines armed with newfound insights into global resistance movements, Pacheco was determined to make a difference. He began lecturing in universities, urging young minds to understand the past so they could forge a brighter future. Through his lectures, he aimed to stoke the flames of patriotism and nationalism among his students.

Pacheco’s passion also found expression in his writing. He authored multiple books chronicling the Philippines’ untold stories of heroism and valor, ensuring that Filipino contributions were not relegated to mere footnotes in global history texts. His meticulous research and eloquent prose made these works indispensable additions to libraries across the country.

But Pacheco’s undying love for the Philippines extended far beyond academia. Recognizing that cultural preservation was as vital as political freedom, he established foundations dedicated to safeguarding indigenous traditions, architecture, and crafts – talismans connecting Filipinos with their past.

Until his last breath in 1982 at the age of 90, Pacheco remained a beacon of inspiration for generations of Filipinos. His unwavering devotion rekindled national pride when it waned most desperately and revealed the power excessive significance placed on historical remembrance could have on shaping collective consciousness.

Today, Pacheco’s legacy thrives through countless historians who follow in his footsteps – weaving together narratives once disregarded or suppressed by those who sought control through distorted versions of history. The Philippines owes much of its vibrant tapestry to individuals like him who dedicated their lives to preserving both painful memories and unbridled triumphs – forever cherishing a blossoming love for their beloved homeland.

50 years after the Chilean assassination. Testimony

We lived in Mac Iver Street, along which, at great speed and with equal noise, tanks, tanks, trucks with army soldiers and carabineros of the ” creeping general ” Mendoza were running. Named after President Salvador Allende for joining in the assassination carried out by General Augusto Pinochet, when his superiors in the police force had refused to add the necessary police forces to the coup d’état.

By Freddy Pacheco León

British Hawcker Hunter fighter-bombers were flying at very low altitude, charged with weapons to attack, on the orders of General Gustavo Leigh, La Moneda Palace, President Allende’s residence in Tomás Moro, the transmission antennae of the Corporación and Portales radio stations, and other sites allegedly “dangerous” to “state security”.

Months went by, and eventually, the admiral of the naval force, Toribio Merino, who in a meteoric “academic career” of the highest level, was appointed to appoint the “military rectors” of the universities, chose General Ruiz Danyau as head of the subjugated University of Chile. A military man trained to kill, and also an imbecile, became the rector of the most important house of higher education in Chile, to prevent anti-democratic thoughts from being spread from there, they said. General that a year after the coup, he was decorated by the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, with whom he had many things in common, mainly in terms of intellectual abilities.

That Tuesday 11 September, a day full of brutality, by order of the spurious military junta presided over by Augusto Pinochet (remembered as a thief and “murderer of life”), the Armed Forces and the Carabineros mobilised in pursuit of their supreme objective: to assassinate the President of the Republic, Dr Salvador Allende. That was their trophy! A constitutional president who had been elected and assumed the presidential office three years earlier, and who had growing popular support, which, paradoxically, made him more dangerous for the civilian and military aristocracy, accustomed to the enjoyment of unjust privileges, which they were not prepared to lose with a Popular Unity government. Conspirators who began their actions even before Dr. Allende took office. Allende took office, on the way to which they assassinated in one of the streets of Santiago General René Schneider, who at the time, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, had declared himself ready to defend the popular will expressed at the polls and to ensure respect for the constitutional order, even before Allende’s election, against the representative of the ultra-right, the former president Jorge Alessandri, who was later appointed by the military coup plotters as a member of the so-called Council of State, as a reward for his complicity.

As the bombs fell from the war planes, paradoxically acquired to supposedly defend Chile’s borders, the shrill and criminal noise of the machine gun and cannon fire was multiplied by the echo of the pavement of the streets and buildings of downtown Santiago, occupied by the militiamen and some workers running home, under the bullets of soldiers playing target practice. Bestial savagery was unleashed.

The night before, on Monday 10 September, while life seemed to be going on normally, we were sharing a dinner in the Las Condes district with the participants of an international course that had ended that same day at the Biochemistry Department of the Faculty of Medicine, attached to the José Joaquín Aguirre Hospital in Santiago. What we did not know was that cowardly, under the shadows, all over Chile, the military coup plotters had begun to carry out a criminal coup d’état, forged by “experts” from Chile, the CIA, the White House and the Pentagon, because it was a terrible continental example that a socialist president had been elected in free elections. That had to be stopped at the root! It could not be allowed! And that is why concepts such as human rights and democracy became obstacles to the ends of the military caste that so enjoyed the royalties that their peers in the political aristocracy, mainly, used as payment for their indecent services.

Much has been written and will continue to be documented about what happened after. The “military coup”, repudiated by the world’s democrats, was cynically denied as such by Pinochet and his henchmen. “It was a military pronouncement carried out to defend democracy and the rights of the Chilean people”, they claimed, while prohibiting even the mention of the word “coup”, because a “hero” cannot be described as a coup leader….

They were equally indignant when he asked about the thousands of murdered people who were being added to the figures in some morgues from Arica to Magallanes, because for the murderer of life (so we heard), “those corpses that you see in the course of the Mapocho River, with their faces smashed by shots fired in their heads, are common criminals who are killing each other”, he sarcastically mocked at press conferences, where pseudo-journalists were used to ask the questions dictated to them minutes before by those in charge of the dictatorship’s propaganda.

Scores were 99-91 twice and 98-92 with 97-93 KH.

Cris Cyborg takes aim at Ali Abdelaziz for making comments that border on sexual harassment: “I hope you have that same energy when I see you in person” | BJPenn.com

Cris Cyborg is taking aim at Ali Abdelaziz for making comments that border on sexual harassment.

Abdelaziz’s top PFL fighter, Kayla Harrison (15-1 MMA), will return to the cage to take on Julia Budd (17-6 MMA) at the 2023 PFL World Championship on November 24th of this year in Washington, D.C.  Harrison has not fought since her loss at the final PFL 2022 event against Larissa Pacheco (22-4 MMA) last November and was not included in this year’s featherweight season.

Prior to Harrison’s PFL comeback, Abdelaziz took it upon himself to ‘warn’ all of his client’s past and potentially future opponents about drug testing protocol.

It was just this past Wednesday that  Abdelaziz took to ‘X‘ stating:

All these cheated woman in PFL @KaylaH fought now USADA will be on you 24/7 you better stop now
Also the one coming from bellator
Everyone has to give urine and blood samples
They will start look like females again not males

— Ali Abdelaziz (@AliAbdelaziz00) September 13, 2023

“All these cheated women in PFL (Kayla Harrison) fought now USADA will be on you 24/7 you better stop now.  Also the one coming from Bellator. Everyone has to give urine and blood samples. They will start look like females again not males.”

In response, Cris Cyborg, Bellator’s current Featherweight Champion, said:

“‘They will start look like females again not males’ – (Ali Abdelaziz) I don’t know who you are talking about but if I’m the ‘one coming from Bellator’, I hope you have that same energy when I see you in person. I will (not) tolerate sexual harassment.” 

USADA, the Anti-Doping Agency, partnered with PFL earlier this year and is also the official, independent anti-doping agency for the UFC.

As for the potential of a Cyborg vs Harrison fight, nothing has been scheduled to date.

Cris Cyborg (26-2 MMA) is set to fight Cat Zingano (14-4 MMA) at Bellator 300 on Saturday, October 7th, at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California.

The 38 year old  Cyborg is sporting 6 consecutive victories in the cage, the latest coming against Arlene Blencowe (15-10 MMA) in April of 2022 at Bellator 279.

‘Alpha’ has 4 victories in a row coming into Bellator 300, her lastest win against Leah McCourt (7-3 MMA) this past March at Bellator 293.

Would you like to see the eventuality of a fight between Cyborg and Harrison? Do you believe, as Cris Cyborg does, that Ali Abdelaziz’s comments border on ‘sexual harassment’?

PFL 10: Previewing The Welterweight Finals From D.C.

In one of the six championship matches set for PFL 10, also known as PFL Championships, Magomed Magomedkerimov and Sadibou Sy will meet. That fight takes place in the welterweight division live on ESPN and ESPN+ from The Anthem in Washington, D.C.

Both Magomedkerimov and Sy are former champions, with Magomedkerimov scoring gold in 2018 and Sy doing the same last season.

Along with this contest, Olivier Aubin-Mercier meets Clay Collard, Jesus Pinedo squares off with Gabriel Alves Braga, Josh Silveira tangles with Impa Kasanganay, Renen Ferreira fights Denis Goltsov and Larissa Pacheco takes on Marina Mokhnatkina.

Here is a closer look at the Magomedkerimov and Sy contest:

PFL 10: Magomed Magomedkerimov

Outside of a 2021 loss to Ray Cooper III, nobody has bested Magomedkerimov since 2015, a run that covers 18 wins including the 2018 PFL title. He also reached the finals in ’21 before falling to Cooper where he bested none other than Sy in the semifinals by decision to advance.

After losing to Vitaly Bigdash in Russiah eight years ago, Magomedkerimov headed to the United States, competing once for the World Series of Fighting before they became the PFL. He earned a win over Bobby Cooper and would go on to score his title with a submission victory over Cooper in 2018.

Fighters such as John Howard, Chris Curtis, Curtis Millender and Gleison Tibau have all fallen victim to Magomedkerimov.

In 2022, he downed Dilano Taylor and Tibau before taking the 2023 season by storm with back-to-back first round finishes of Ben Egli and David Zawada.

This past August, he downed Solomon Renfro to advance to another finals and get another crack at the ultimate prize.

The 36-year-old from Sweden has been on a roll since losing to Magomedkerimov in the 2021 semifinals, reeling off seven consecutive wins.

One during that stretch really put him on the map, as he downed Rory MacDonald in 2022 via decision. That was part of the season-long tournament that saw Sy top Dilano Taylor for the title.

He also bested Carlos Leal in the semifinals that year, winning that by decision as well.

In 2023, Sy has become a finisher, stopping Jarrah Al-Silawi in the second round and doing the same to Shane Mitchell in the third. He connected with a highlight-reel spinning wheel kick on Mitchell, advancing to the semifinals where he downed Leal for a second time in as many years.

Sy has called PFL his home since 2018 after competing in his home country of Sweden for the first three years of his career.
