Happy Temps of 45F today in Missouri. However we have grey skys and rain. No school again today as the back roads still have deep snow and are slick.
The rain should help to melt everything. Not much doing with the gardening, since my Grand Daughter came back for another couple of days visit before going back to college. We have focused on cooking and watching the food network programs.
Hope everyone is doing great and enjoying the planning for spring. Have a great weekend, and God Bless.

My peat pots arrived! (I don’t know if I mentioned that in last week’s thread). I’m excited! This makes me think that spring may actually arrive this year. :)

When do you start your garden seeds ?
We have about a day's prep to get our little green house/hot house ready to go.

I plan to have my garden soil tested next week, Prepping for spring. Highs will be in the mid 50s to low 60s next week.

Lovely surprise today (amid downpours & cold temps) .... my mom got an Amaryllis bulb at a party before Christmas. I helped her plant it in the enclosed pot and it’s been sitting in the back room (southern exposure). She brought it to me last week and it had a nice green shoot. Today, she pointed it out and it has two red blooms and two more buds! Wow, did it take off fast once it started growing! It’s a cheery reminder on the window sill that winter won’t last forever.

Mid April for me. I don’t like to transplant until the latter part of May. I don’t like cook damp weather. Plus I have stuff that I planted in the previous fall that I use during the rainy spring season.
Like lettuce, carrots, garlic, winter wheat. While I have tried various seeds to start and transplant, tomatoes are the ones that I feel the success was sufficient to reward the effort.
I plant directly for most things. I do plant potatoes in April and early May.

Good to hear from you RD. Have you started any seeds yet, or is it too early?

Love the stuff that blooms in winter. We have a Christmas Cactus that has nice red blooms sitting in a window with SW exposure.

We don’t subscribe to any newspapers, and I’m lazy. That’s why I opted for the peat pots. :)

When is your last frost date? Ours is the very end of May here in Massachusetts.

LOL. We don’t subscribe any more either, but we have plenty of leftovers, and we do buy and occasional St Louis paper from the news stand. It doesn’t take too many.
Hubby makes most of them, me being the lazy one.
