Experimental Garden February Bloom Report

Spring is on the way.  There is now one hour more of sunlight than there was at winter solestice.  We have a flock of robins in the neighborhood.  The birds are starting to sing.

Pansies are a little worse for the wear and tear of winter, but they will get better soon.



This camilia never managed to bloom thanks to Ole Man Winter.





Forsythia buds are just aching to burst into bloom.


Daffodils are up.  Won't be long now.

 Last summer we built a small greenhouse.  OK, we had friend Dave assemble it for us. 
This will be our first spring experimenting with growing from seeds.  Do we know what we are doing?
Everything we do is an experiment.  I plan to start some seeds this week and see what happens.  Think of all the money we will save growing from seeds instead of buying plants!

Remember the famous quote from a rock:

    That's so fun that you have your own greenhouse! I've mostly been experimenting with growing seeds in containers on my deck because I don't have a lot of yard space, and it is pretty cool to watch things grow from little seeds into plants or veggies. I hope you get lots of seeds to germinate!

    Thanks for stopping by my site!

    Hi. Your link took me to January instead of February, but I found my way here. Have fun in your greenhouse! I would love to have one.
