Sprouts

I can't believe it is frigging snowing. The daffodils are starting to bloom and its snowing.




Nothing more to plant inside. Now i just need to keep them alive until i plant them outside. All the sprouts have come up, except the Cleome flowers. They were planted last week, so maybe they just need a little more time. I wish it was spring, and i wish i was done with tax season. Tired of working 6 days a week.

Yard and patio show

Yesterday i went to the yard & patio show at the convention center.

I attended 3 seminars.

The first one was about fragrant plants. it wasn't much of a talk. more of a list of plants for each season.

The second seminar was put on by Ed Hume ttp://www.humeseeds.com/. It was about tips for the vegie garden and growing things year round. I did pick up a few tips from his talk. A couple of them were on slug traps, and gopher deterrents.

The last seminar was "bodacious borders" The speaker was Lucy Hardiman a local garden designer. http://www.lucyflora.com/ it was about planning borders, obviously. Thinking about color, texture, size, etc. There were some wonderful slides. I did get a few ideas from her talk. This picture is from her website and is a garden she did.

Today i planted my melons and a few other things. Now my little indoor greenhouse if pretty much full. Lots of little sprouts coming up.
