LysmachiaMoon's blog: I blame it all on the curly bulbs

Posted on Feb 19, 2015 7:05 AM

Well, in my humble opinion, we've gone too far. That's what it is....this unseasonable frigid cold...it's because we've all been so eco-conscious and screwed in those curly light bulbs to save energy and reduce pollution and ITS WORKING. *LOL*

*sigh* No point complaining about the weather. That's what my mom's neighbor always used to say (of course, he also sat on the porch and drank out of a paper bag a lot). But ...holy ------------------------- *expletive deleted* it's COLD. And come on...for mid February, this is about 20-30 degrees BELOW our normal. I will rejoice in the passing of this winter weather.

My cabbages are starting to germinate. So far, Stonehead is up and going gang-busters. Nothing yet from Ballhead and only a few from Fieldenkraut. The broccoli are all up, nothing yet for Cauliflower or Bruss. Sprouts. Some of the bunching onions are starting to germinate. My tomato seeds are just breaking....I've got them on the heat mat.

Experiment: Stuck 3 cuttings from my African Blue Basil plant into a container of wet perlite and covered with plastic dome. Also on heat mat. Want to see if I get rooting.

The container with my sweet potatoe root starts is starting to show life...I think 3-4 of the little potatoes/roots are starting to sprout.

So...in embryonic form, there's most of my veg garden, already growing! It's very hard to think that in less than a month (March 17) I'm supposed to be planting peas. The soil in my veg is frozen rock hard and everything is frozen to it. I can't even close the garden gate.

I think today I'll try to CAREFULLY unmold the 'tufa mushroom cap and if that goes well, maybe do another one.
