Should I start my pot seeds now indoors? Or do you think my plants will be too big to try to hide in the sunflower patch by Spring????

Thank you for posting this week’s gardening thread.

First of 13 new raised beds planted this week - lettuce/cold hardy stuff.

Cold front rolling into Charleston this weekend - sub freezing nights - cold enough to light a fire! Hopefully it’’l bring some much needed rain.

Bought onion sets for the first time, shallots too. Will have to wait for our next warm day.

Bless everyone!

I finally did it. I harvested my lemon.

I have a lemon tree in a very large pot that I bring into the south porch in the winter. It gets cold, but doesn’t freeze in there. It had about 8 or 9 blooms on it, but only one set a lemon. I just left it on the tree hoping that it would not be blemished, but rather ripe when I needed it. It was very yellow and perfect.

I made Greek lemon rice soup for my new friend. The lemon tasted a bit like an orange. The lime tree did not bloom.
