Ping to the Weekly Gardening Ping List.

I hope all of you will stop by.

This is typically a low volume ping list. Once a week for the thread and every once in a while for other FR threads posted that might be of interest.

If you would like to be added to or removed from the list please let me know by FreepMail or by posting to me.

I am still debating whether to order seeds this year, because we're going to be away for about a week this Spring. Perhaps if I put the seedlings in larger pots?

When I order plants they always arrive too early, and I don't think the selection is as varied.

Not much to report, but I did get my tomato seeds ordered this week. I also got my 4” plastic pots cleaned out and filled with dirt last weekend.

This is the weekend to clean out Purple Martin houses and trim roses. I also need to trim my pear tree.

howdy Howdy!

Your weather sounds just like we’ve got. It was 46* IN the house this morning. BRRRRR. It was 13 outside when hubby went out to hit the reset button.

No gardening going on around here yet, everything is still frozen. Also, my greenhouse once again needs a new roof and door.

On an up note, while tearing apart my kitchen in preparing to paint it, I discovered a big bag of assorted seeds I had lost last year. Yippee for me!

I bought some seed potatoes. When I cut them for planting, I’ve been told to cut so there are 3 sprouts beginning. Do I need to soak the cut sides in something?

It’s hard to believe, with the near-zero temps and charming winds we’ve been experiencing here, not to mention last week’s blizzard, but I’ve begun to feel the first pangs of spring fever.
