Every once in a while Lowes surprises me with heirloom stuff. Florida does get dry for sure.
It all comes back to the ground!

It snowed just the other day. This year we started all over again with the garden. Instead of containers, like last year, we have built one raised bed. The corral we are gardening in is on a slope, so the rest will be just one big leveled raised bed, with about 8 to 10 inches of good dirt on top of the rocks we hauled in years ago. It has warmed up enough that today I planted radishes, onion sets, lettuce, and beets. I started seeds inside on Friday. I am trying bottom heat on the seeds this year with a heating pad under a big commercial baking sheet. Hope it works.
Greetings from the morning side of the hill. |

I have not planted yet but I have started my garden in seed pots in the kitchen.
All plants are coming up and look good. I cannot wait till I can dig in the dirt.
Our spring has been really cold this year, usually we are mid 60's but have been
more like 40's. I have holes dug for plants that I ordered in february, when they arrive
I will put them in the ground. I cannot wait for this year to officially start.
First spring has to get here. Calendar says it has arrived, old man winter has not
go the memo yet.
Give me the simple country life. |

started some indoor stuff, but nothing outside as we just got snow on the ground last night and expecting a few more inches today. Can't wait to get going though.

I have starts coming out of my ears over here in South East-ish PA. Over 90 Cabbages and 60 Broccoli. I started Strawberries for the heck of it and they are still on first leaves and a bit leggy, so I am just going to sprinkle some dirt over them. Leeks are not as happy as some of the others. It is really hard to say if they are leggy or unhappy. The lettuce heads are also doing well, they will need put into larger pots soon. I have run out of room completely on my new light shelves and I am a bit at odd as to if I should purchase another.

I bought this year because of time constraints. So far my plants are nestled in thier raised beds. I made the beds out of cinder blocks and used compost dirt my son "made". Its cold this morning but snow would make me crazy...
It all comes back to the ground!
