@Anastasia @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Faith-and-Hope...
This thread's gone quiet since our beloved Darcy moved on... so quiet, I've had trouble finding it!
But it's springtime, so it's a good time to get it "active" again, yes? 🙂 How about we tag in any newer forumites who might be interested?
I've had a busy day today, planted zucchini and sugar snap pea seeds in pots (so I can protect them from rodents and slugs&snails while they get started), and a few sprouting potatoes have gone into the ground, along with two pea plants... yes, two. They didn't germinate very well. But I've got snow peas forming, so as long as I'm happy to mix my pea types, no hassle. I've also dug up some lettuce and silverbeet seedlings that self seeded into inopportune positions, so they're in pots until I decide on their long term position. And my tomato seeds are coming up- whoo hoo!
Loving my greenhouse. When it started raining, I was able to move my seed planting stuff inside and continue on with it. And without it, tomato and zucchini seeds would be no-go at the moment. Still too cold here, and too likely to get frosty.
Flowery stuff's looking good too. The tulips are finishing up just as the bearded irises are getting started, the last of the stone fruit blossoms are finishing, apple trees haven't started yet. Common purple violets are finished, but some of the fancy varieties are going full on. Labradorica, Parma Violets, Apricot Violet. Freesias are out, dahlias are shooting but the frost nibbled back their tops a bit.
