Here we go again!

January 19, 2015

I have made my trip to BloomingFoods and purchased most of my garden seeds for 2015!  I got in the mood when we started having sunny days and my cold frames started looking beautiful in the mornings.  We have been eating some of the spinach and arugula (mainly as I thin it), and it is still looking very healthy.  I did notice deer tracks in the mud in the garden, so the hot wire may go up soon.


In addition to the "normal" cold frames (four total), I am experimenting with one that just uses a heavy plastic over a hardware cloth cage.  I wanted the latter to protect seedlings in the spring, so why not turn it into another cold frame.  You can compare this to the photo I took last year on March 3.

I was drinking my coffee this morning and saw a new visitor to the area behind my garden.  Waiting for the rabbits perhaps?
