I have been puttering around in the basement with my underground greenhouse. The stock plants are growing again after the up grade to 3" pots last month and the cuttings on them are starting to become substantial enough to make this year's coleus crop. Once that is done, I will be able to open up a few spots under the lights and get busy seeding.
The onions got their first hair cut today. They were getting a little floppy so off with their heads! This will push growth to the roots again and start strengthen the bulb-effect which onions are meant to do.
After looking in every catalog and seed rack for annual baby's breath I finally found it! Aldi market had a few odd items on their seed rack and I scored the baby's breath which is on my daughter's wish list for her October bridal bouquet. Perennial would bloom to early. With annual baby's breath, I can seed successive crops in hopes of getting them when I need them.
My mushroom plugs came yesterday for Chicken-in-the-woods. We have several spruce "stumps" from the removal of our Norway spruce two years ago. Spruce is ideal for this variety of shroom. I have to wait for the ground to thaw to start this project.
I often wish that people would be willing to comment back on the blog. I am interested in knowing what some of the other gardeners are up to. Maybe someone will get brave.
