What they want to do with the extra time in the soil is up to them. I have a cup of Peas that are about a foot tall. They have been living in the sun room for a week now. Doing alright even though it was supposedly in the teens the other day. <br /><br />Today I planted out 15 broccoli, several of my larger lettuce, some chard etc into a garden bed on the east of the house that the soil is very workable. <br /><br />Placed all my 2 liter bottles over each plant. Namely for protection from this big fat rabbit I saw the other night....The Stay @ Home-Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102175625149771801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192028072022682301.post-14088805282862596992012-02-26T16:06:58.557-08:002012-02-26T16:06:58.557-08:00Kitty and I have an understanding...Kitty and I have an understanding...The Stay @ Home-Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102175625149771801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192028072022682301.post-72642148363719417312012-02-26T10:10:57.587-08:002012-02-26T10:10:57.587-08:00I try to get mine outside in mid-April, but this y...I try to get mine outside in mid-April, but this year it'll be closer to April 1st just b/c the ground isn't frozen.Dorothy-Life With Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699859607138279117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192028072022682301.post-3044566435926830922012-02-26T10:08:02.167-08:002012-02-26T10:08:02.167-08:00The St. Patrick's thing totally is a good rule...The St. Patrick's thing totally is a good rule of thumb. Works for both potatoes and peas. Last year, however, we had like 18" of snow on the ground for St. Patty's day, so planting was a no-go for me. Then it was so wet... But this year, I'm thinking you could totally plant out potatoes and peas in the next week or 2 as our ground just didn't get nearly as frozen as it would in a typical winter.Dorothy-Life With Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699859607138279117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192028072022682301.post-89945506315008198162012-02-26T10:03:19.582-08:002012-02-26T10:03:19.582-08:00Sounds like kitty will NOT be eating fresh veggies...Sounds like kitty will NOT be eating fresh veggies this summer as punishment! lolDorothy-Life With Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699859607138279117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192028072022682301.post-32727945830785116122012-02-24T22:33:02.456-08:002012-02-24T22:33:02.456-08:00WHen are you planting your brassicas?

We're sticking to last year's schedule, especially because it's been a warm winter.

This must be why they are so prolific. <br /><br />My approach to things is to see the simple. If things are too complicated then they most likely didn't work that way in nature. Such as if an animal has to consciously choose foods etc.<br /><br />Ill plant them March 1st weather permitting. the beds in the back are workable.The Stay @ Home-Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102175625149771801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192028072022682301.post-89662169791792687002012-02-24T11:50:32.613-08:002012-02-24T11:50:32.613-08:00All the wood that was dumped in the old garden mig...All the wood that was dumped in the old garden might turn out to be good organic matter for many years to come. You're planting potatoes very early for your zone! I really hope you see an early and strong crop. If you do, then we'll plant this early next year too. This year we'll probably plant our potatoes just 3 or 4 weeks before the last frost (late March early April). My thinking is that if we plant any sooner they'll lay dormant in the ground until it warms up and risk rotting. I hope your experiment proves my way of thinking wrong, because I'd love to get potatoes out even sooner!Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442310215979259623noreply@blogger.com
