The weather here in Central Indiana so far this spring has been fabulous. The temperatures have been in the 70’s and 80’s over the past 5 days or so with dry conditions. The red bud trees are now in full bloom. It is quite a bit cooler today, with a frost/freeze expected tonight. With all [...]

The spring seed starting is going full out right now. All of the seeds for lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, celery, and fennel have germinated and are now in the cold frame. The seeds I saved from the Sierra lettuce last year germinated really well for me (I guess that was a successful experiment!). I [...] I started 72 lettuce plants on February 28th. Most of them have germinated and were moved to the cold frame. On March 7th, I started 18 broccoli, 12 cabbage, 12 brussels sprouts, 12 celery, and 6 fennel plants. I will be planting pepper seeds in about another week. The weather has been nearly perfect the [...] My cold frame was put up over a small portion of one of the garden beds last Sunday, February 20th. I plan on starting some lettuce seeds in 2 more days, depending on the weather. If the weather forecast continues to look very cold into the latter part of next week, I might hold off [...] I ordered all of the extra seeds I need for this year’s garden a few days ago. Now the agonizing wait for warmer weather starts. I am really looking forward to spring this year!! I will be putting up the cold frame in a few weeks and as long as the weather is not too cold, [...] Harvest has now officially ended for the 2009 garden season. Surprisingly, a few of the brussels sprouts that remained on the plants were still harvestable on December 14th, despite the very cold temperatures that were experienced the few weeks prior. The remaining older sprouts that remain on the lower portion of the plants will not be [...] The garden this time of year grows very fast. The weather has been relatively warm and it rained nearly an inch a few days ago. This spring has been very wet, but all that means is that I have not had to water much. Despite the wet conditions, all plants seem to be growing well. I [...] Sorry for the long time between posts. I have been busily planting and harvesting my garden since my last post. The garden is fully planted and is looking pretty good for this time of year. The only real issue I have had is poor germination on my green beans. I suspect it was caused by [...] Look Inside Cold Frame, 3/9/09 Over the last 9 days I have successfully started lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, and brussels sprouts seeds indoors. They have all germinated and are now settling into their new home in my cold frame. I have included a picture of the inside of my cold frame in this post. I have half [...] Spring has arrived despite the cold temperatures outside right now. Besides, the calendar says March 1st and it is time to start planting lettuce!! I will be planting lettuce inside today and will hope for germination under florescence lights in 4 or 5 days. The forecast is for cold temperatures to continue for the next [...] |
