March 29, 2022 Did I miss spring?


That is snow!  The chives weren't any happier to see that than I was!



I started this celery from the end of a celery stalk I bought from the store.  I have another one started also and plan to move them out to the garden when it is warm enough.



10 of my 11 milk jugs sprouted so I moved them into the cold frame for these below 32 degree nights.



We made up another batch of freezer cole slaw.



And guess what this will be??



Rosie, Queen of the Castle!  She rules (and ruins)!  Thanks for stopping by.  Hope to see you next week!.....Nancy

Winter seems reluctant to leave.
I have to remember to do that with my celery next time. My rabbit likes celery a lot.
I can't imagine what you're going to make with that pretty pink patterned fabric. Hopefully you'll post about it.

Hi Granny Marigold, I have had good luck doing that with my celery but I also tried to do it with the ends of Romaine lettuce but the don't grow very tall for me. When I get the project done I will share it. Thanks for stopping by!......Nancy

Hi Nancy, It's good to see you blogging again. It's snowing outside right now. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be sticking to the ground yet. I'm impressed with your gardening already.
Hmmm. I wonder what that beautiful fabrick will be? A quilt?
Blessings,
Betsy

He Betsy, Thank you for commenting. We are having lots of rain now but thankfully it is not snow! Your guess might be right. Guess we will have to wait and see!

Oh I need to grow some celery. I have done that with onions before but never celery. What are you making with that pretty fabric? We are expected to have rain today and tomorrow. Gosh, we just got over a batch of rain! Happy weekend to you. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Hi Henny Penny, sometimes Rosie is adorable and sometimes not! Hope you are successful with your celery! Keeping m y fingers crossed mine will keep growing.......Nancy

Hi Creations by Cindy, I just recently stuck an onion in the ground that had sprouted. Not sure what to expect. Let me know how your celery growing goes. When I get the project finished with the material I will post a picture!......Nancy

Thats wonderful that the celery sprouted for you Nancy! I look forward to seeing what you make with that adorable fabric! Rose is delightful. xx

Ho Julie, I am hopeful that I will be able to get the celery planted out in the garden successfully. I hope tonight will be the last night of below 32 degree weather. I need to get busy at finishing that project!....Nancy

I'm so impressed that almost all of your milk jugs have sprouted! I tried winter sowing last year and didn't have the best of luck - am trying with only a few containers again this year...hopefully it works out better. And that idea of putting them in a cold frame on cold nights - genius! Now I just have to build myself one :)

lovely shots

Hi Margaret, I haven't tried starting tomatoes or peppers in milk jugs bit have done greens and flowers. They say you can put the caps on for overnight if really cold but it is easier to set them in the cold frame. I think it only keeps things a couple degrees warmer. Mine are on raised legs so probably colder. If it is 28 or so I put another row cover over the jugs inside the cold frame......Nancy

Progress in the Courtyard!

  It was so nice to look out my bedroom window this morning and see the Clematis blooming instead of a pile of snow.  It is a rainy day agai...
