Plant Stand Progress

Things are coming along.I know I started very early but these were plants with close to 300 days grow length. So doesn't seem like that would be early for them?

Onions are up!

Oh the joys of seeing the first seedlings emerge. Winter won't last forever, spring is on it's way! I bask in the glow of my grow lights! I read somewhere about going through therapy was like weeding. If you want to do it right you have to dig way down and get the whole weed including it's root out or it will just keep coming back. Well here's to getting rid of those thistles!!! But I think gardening and watching life start in every form is therapy as well.

Sowing Tonight

These seeds came from Botanical Interests online (http://www.botanicalinterests.com/) and I could hardly wait to plant them. Onion and leeks from seed are not so easy so thought I'd give it a try early and order sets/plants if not going well. I did read if they are growing but can't be transplanted yet you can keep trimming them back to 3 inches high to promote bulb growth instead so figured why not try. I stopped at Menard's tonight and was looking for long trays, 4 x 22, to sow these in, and for some dumb reason went into the OUTDOOR lawn and garden section. WOW it seemed colder in there than outside. It's 11 degrees outside but ooooooooh what a chill I got out there and duh the seed starting supplies are inside of course.

Craft time

Rylie and I decorated some more clay pots for starting herbs. Glitter paint and plant stencils can brighten the most dreary day!
Probably start some scallions, walking onions and some herbs in these.
