Hey folks,
I know I haven't been around AT in a while, but now that I'm starting to put seeds in the ground and watching the first little shoots come up, I thought I'd check in again.
I'm still fighting my poor "killing thumb" but I've been making excellent use of old chinese food containers and soda bottles and the mini greenhouse landscape gets bigger every day! I've got some bulbs in the ground and am viciously weeding around my wild mint and rose patches, trying to keep the little weedys from getting an early hold.
We've hit another little cold snap here on the East Coast US, and I've spent most of the day staring out the window, trying to will my little sprouts hardiness through the chilly weather.
I'm definately going to invest in starts this year...Hubby is just going to have to eat out a little less often Good thing he can cook! (I certainly can't!)
Anywho... seeds I've got starting in the greenhouse city...
Lavender, Chamomile, peppermint, bergamot, tarragon, anise, sage, cilantro, catnip, basil, and some others I can't think of at the moment... hee....
My chives from last year are still thriving, despite my lack of skill. Our arrangement is I leave them alone and they'll grow...it works pretty well. The wild rose is propogating, and I'm trying some cuttings, from a light prunning. I'm slowly picking up little tricks and tips. In about 40 years My thumb might start turning green
So how about everyone else? I saw the thread about MingBop's dream garden... How does it grow?
Love Ankou
