No Bunnies in MY Kitchen?
Garden starts in the kitchen are progressing, everything is coming up green and Bunny Free.
BARELY UP TWO WEEKS AGO.
I WAS PATIENTLY WAITING...
NOW.....
Quick video tour of our kitchen garden THIS WEEK after planting veggies and flowers, three weeks ago.
I could update the sprouting plants everyday, they are growing so quickly. The plants I missed naming while taking the video were Nasturtiums, Holly Hocks, Bell Flowers, Basil, Dill and probably a couple of others.
TIP: Note to self....seal popsicle sticks before using as ID tags. Like a good REDO'r I was using what I had at the time. I did find some new plastic sticks that I purchased end of season last year. I will have to replace a few of my popsicle sticks.
Tomorrow's Next Post!
After taking this video--I ventured to the greenhouse to do some cleanup and setting up pots for more planting tomorrow. I did get my Peas in the Pot set up, tomorrow to be two pots--PEAS are soaking along with more Nasturtiums.
TIP: Soaking hard seeds helps with germination. Nasturtiums even have to be filed with a nail file to break through their hulls.
How are your
Spring Gardens,
Plantings, or Plans Going?

I really want and need a Greenhouse. I've been talking to the Family about the prospects of building one out of our Architectural Salvage some day.
ReplyDeleteMight even want to look at Facebook Marketplace for parts--doors...your problem would be shading it from your broiling sun. Perhaps cold frames next to your walled areas would be great for starting plants. Hugs, and more coming on the greenhouse! Sandi
DeleteSandi, Happy Spring! I honestly need to get started on my seeds. I keep putting it off, but you have inspired me. Thank you :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi, Stephanie, actually usually we start the Peppers, Coleus and some Tomatoes very early in February...so I'm really late this year. But maybe they won't be blossoming in the greenhouse this year, LOL. Thanks for visiting! Sandi
DeleteWell done, Sandi! I really admire your gardening commitment. I had to laugh about the popsicle stick markers -- I've made the same mistake!
ReplyDeleteThat's about all of been doing this week...it's going to be at least a part time job for the next month. Thanks for visiting... Sandi
DeleteHello Sandi! I'm so glad you linked up at Share Your Style #458 this past week. I was able to bring over a photo and, of course, it is linked back to this post!! :) I love your video and am glad your local bunnies aren't chomping your starts. Hubby and I are in-process of making our new greenhouse critter-proof. I have a similar issue with squirrels and rats who just want a change from seeds all winter (which I provide for them). They love nasturtium leaves and flowers, but do leave the stems and those reflower and then they leave them alone the rest of the year. ;) They also like to eat leaves from the lemon trees, which seems weird to me. Guess they are desperate. No lemons again as they fell off inside when we had the cold spell in Feb. :( I'm going to feed them all summer and see if I can get lemons year-round and keep them outside in this greenhouse all winter with a heater. Busy spring!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and happy planting!
Barb :)
Wow, sounds like you are really busy, too. I have to laugh, I cut up 4 bars of Irish spring (supposedly a critter deterrant and threw it all over the floor in the greenhouse...and found some with teeth marks in it...LOL. The critter rid granules dumped around outside has helped, but they are still showing up in the traps, now in the ghouse. UGH! So busy, here but still so cold. Sandi
