Yours looks and sounds very promising. We started seeds indoors and then after they sprouted took them to the greenhouse. We have tomatoes, peppers, and squash waiting for their planting date. We also started brocolli and have them in the garden. Other seeds like beets, radishes, kale, spinich and carrots were started in the garden and are doing well. Next weekend we will plant beans, and herbs. We are really enjoying our new gardening "habit"!clshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054876672314504622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-50601170462423428262011-03-06T16:55:07.818-05:002011-03-06T16:55:07.818-05:00good luck with your garden.

Living...Will definitely be some good eating soon! <br />Living in AZ, I was able to keep my two tomato plants producing (with a little help from flood lights and a big plastic bag when it got really cold). I just cut them back to sticks, kind of like what you do with roses. I did this in fall and got a huge crop. Do you think they will grow back again?Janhttp://loveithandmade.com/wpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-54078099974165444382011-03-04T23:28:13.266-05:002011-03-04T23:28:13.266-05:00Hey Joe:

With temps still 20* and with at least 2' of snow on the ground we are a long, long way from seeing any bare soil much less sprouts! <br /><br />So not fair... ;) <br /><br />I did Kale last year and absolutely LOVED it! So superior to anything you can get at the store. Very versitile as well - and when it starts to get near the end of the season, try drying it and adding it to dishes over the summer. <br /><br />Will you be doing strawberries again?Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357694767883126311noreply@blogger.com
