Seed sowing – third time lucky

11/10/2014 0 Comments

Twice I have been thwarted by the gusty Spring wind blowing over my greenhouse and obliterating my newly germinating trays of seeds. So much for getting a jump on the growing season. However, I am not to be outdone. When my Diggers seeds order arrived in the mail, I thought third time lucky and went through my seed bank in its entirety and planted out almost everything that’s in season. I have NOWHERE to put it all so it’s utterly ridiculous but I just can’t help myself. “Can’t keep a good gardener down,” Jeff said laughing at me. I figure I have the time it takes for them to grow into seedlings to get some more garden beds built and prepared. Dream on.
