For those who don't know where that is, my response was "Sure, they can go out but make sure they have good protection at night. I'd be inclined to keep them in a cold frame until it really warms up." <br /><br />And, uh, if I didn't say that Mary-Sue, then THIS is what I MEANT to write...(foggy brain Sheila strikes again)sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-83296965978868640872010-03-31T13:54:04.945-07:002010-03-31T13:54:04.945-07:00Hi Sheila,
Love reading about your garden-warrior ...Hi Sheila,<br />Love reading about your garden-warrior adventures! You are an inspiration, to be sure!<br />I started some broccoli seedlings a few weeks back and they're big and hearty and yearning to be outside. I am wondering if I could inch them into the garden now. What do you think? I've never put seedlings into the garden this early, but there are lots of hearty things green in the garden this time of year... We definitely still get frost -- but I could cover them? Any advice? Thanks!Mary-Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123698151214413692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-59201262211786276022010-03-27T21:04:50.264-07:002010-03-27T21:04:50.264-07:00Thanks, Erin!

If it were bigger me and the twins would be sleeping in it, I think. It's a very magnetic space.<br /><br />You'll get inspired once the weather gets better, I'm sure!sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-86283099211641277142010-03-27T19:10:07.439-07:002010-03-27T19:10:07.439-07:00Your garden(s) are lovely, Sheila!!

I still have yards of soil to shovel and now, that the plants are up so high, I will have to be delicate in spreading it around.<br /><br />How sweet to have a greenhouse, I would love one someday, a little potting bench, a sink, lots of shelves, and places to hang weathered old tools!! Oh, and seedlings everywhere!!<br /><br />~Erin PErinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-73020268331913445102010-03-26T21:24:32.754-07:002010-03-26T21:24:32.754-07:00Well, shucks, S, you're always welcome to come...Well, shucks, S, you're always welcome to come and visit me, you know.

I guess I just love your yard!!<br />I'm still in the clearing away last years stuff, but we had rain last night and things are starting to look greener now. Yay! And very soon my assistant (ie the one who finished all the projects I start) will be home.

Right before planting season, even! But I hear you on the itchy fingers. I was just watching a TV segment on an old couple in Powell River who had built in zip lines and ponds and bridges and I thought "Where could WE do that?"<br /><br />Good eye on the sorrel. Beside it is purple sprouting broccoli. And that's a shrubby puny one, too. This stuff is amazing. I use it in place of Susun Weed's obsession with kale and collard greens for mineral soups. I finally went and bought seeds this year, before I was buying little 6 packs. They lie around rather pathetically all winter (you plant them in September) and burst into song around February. We're now eating the leaves and the odd purple head. It is the most delicious raw broccoli you'll ever eat.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-91092888923338823032010-03-25T18:48:36.367-07:002010-03-25T18:48:36.367-07:00Gah, I'm having a hard time looking at all you...Gah, I'm having a hard time looking at all your gardening pictures without getting bummed about my lack of garden here. It looks fantastic, Shelia. And it sounds like Such Fun moving things here and there, transplanting, etc.<br /><br />And just look at your sorrel! It looks amazing. What is that one plant growing to the left of it in your photo? It almost looks like a pepper plant but it can't be, can it? How wonderful to have a greenhouse of your own.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.com
