Home and Garden Friday - Planting Time - Snow or Not!
Yeah... Almost 12 inches of snow on the old homestead this past weekend. I spent last Saturday watching the snow fall and attempting to keep up with the birds feeding at the feeders and on the ground. But a bit of snow hasn't dampened my need to garden. Of course, I am gardening vicariously through Savvy, who is in warm Arizona. This is her first year with her own garden and she is loving it. I am so proud of her taking up the gardening mantle. Anyway... I set some ginger and turmeric in trays to pre-sprout on January 26. They have had a bit of heat under them and seem to be quite happy. Hopping I get a few sprouts in the next week or so. That way I an use them as an example at a library gardening program. Lavender 'Ellegance Purple' has been cold stratifying in the fridge since January 11. They are supposed to stay in there 3-4 weeks. When I checked on them, they have actually started sprouting and growing. I love lavender, however, lavender doesn't always love ...
