it was in the 60s this weekend, which would have meant the greenhouse would be nice and warm for the seeds to germinate. well, gus and i just went outside to plant the seeds (lettuce, kale, spinach and mesclun mix) today and it was 39 degrees outside. not quite what i'd been expecting for this week. nevertheless, we planted anyway, in our warm winter coats, labeled everything, watered the soil and came inside. as we were taking off our coats, we looked out the picture window in the living room to see... SNOW! darn it all - those poor seeds. we're going to keep our fingers crossed that the temperature will go up a bit soon so they have a chance. who knows, maybe the lettuce seeds planted under the extra plastic lid will make a go of it.

i love this! sure wish we had a few extra feet of space in our tiny apartment, as this is a wonderful idea for late fall / early winter deliciousness. mmmmmmmm

ReplyDeleteHow are the plantings coming along? I have some roses at the end of my driveway that has revived themselves a time or two with the change in the weather.
