The first germinating seeds of the year are always special, in particular when their toasty conditions in the propagator are in such stark contrast to the outside (poor garlic under that net tunnel):
Apparently spring is coming!

/ February 7, 2018Aww, look at the little green hopefuls. What a nasty shock they’ll get when it’s time to go outside.

/ February 7, 2018Most of those will be living their entire lives indoors, although there is some parsley in there that really is in for a shock! By the way, I have some loofa seeds now and will be sowing them later in the week – fingers crossed for home-grown scrubbies. Thank you for the suggestion.

/ February 7, 2018Chilly, indeed, but as we would say in Maine, it’s wintah. We have about a foot of snow predicted for today. Great day for my homemade chicken soup.

/ February 7, 2018The Gulf Stream usually keeps the snow away, so it’s quite a shock to get any! It’s all gone now, but it was pretty for a while.

/ February 7, 2018Our peppers are up! We have sown parsnips too, and a trial pot of salad leaves for the Peach House, including some peas. Will see what happens, but it will be nice to have some freshly grown leaves to add to those hardy ones outside.

/ February 7, 2018Where are your parsnips? It seems very early to have them outside and I haven’t had good experiences with transplanting them.
