From this to that


It has been slow growing this past month. Lots of seed planting and potting up but still haven't dared to put anything in the ground yet. I started some of the flowers in January but they are still very small and not ready to brave the cool spring weather of Maine yet. I have put some onions and beet seedlings in my small greenhouse (covered shelf). Here are some pictures of the seedlings starting out and what they look like about a month later.

Now one lonely flower dares to peak out
I forgot I did plant something out in the garden. It's part of the Dogwood family I think, I call it my Pablo Lilac. He lays his bum anywhere I have freshly raked or dug. This day he is hiding out in the newly raked Lilacs

Ooops missed February

I was busy during February planting seeds and getting organized. I don't know where the month went. So here it is March and I'm starting to pot up some of the plants I planted in January & February. I can't wait to get them in the ground. The snow is gone from the beds but I know if I take the covers off we will get a Nor' Eastah!


 I think I will just keep planting seeds and potting up for the month and see what April brings. It would be really nice to be able to get some of the cool crops in like beets, carrots and lettuce early. Thank goodness for my friends who eat a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese. I collect those container and use them to pot up.
