| | Spring is in the air ~ even though it's snowingAnd such is the weather in Western Pennsylvania. It's okay though because we love broccoli and spinach and lettuce and peas and all that loves cooler weather. Without our cold spring our veggies don't grow right.
I post almost regularly over at the blogspot site because I can post pictures over there for free. Don't forget to visit me over there now and then!
This weekend I visited my goldfish. I had to break up the ice again. It freezes over so easily. They are okay in there though since it is deep enough. They came up for a peek at what was going on, so I gave them a bite to eat. They look much bigger than last year! I should be seeing some babies soon too. When they are born they are all black, so it is difficult to see them when just passing by. I see them when I'm sitting there for a bit watching in the spring.
I've tried out a practice my British blogging friends have done and I planted up some shallots in a seedling flat. It's too early here to plant out as it was for them a month ago. They set them in their greenhouses and watched as they developed roots and tops! I've never done this before and I'm just so delighted to think I've got a jump on the season this way. Of course, I had to try out the red onions as well. We'll see how they do.
I also began to clean out the greenhouse. My family uses it as a catch-all through the off season so now we need to find places for all the stuff that was left there. I'm using grow lights at present in the house and also have broccoli, tomatoes and spinach which have come up. The tomatoes will be transferred to paper pots but the spinach and broccoli will soon go outside.
Pictures will follow shortly!
