Sprouts
Campanula seeds (or Bellflowers) which I sprinkled on a wet paper towel and covered with plastic wrap...and forgot all about them. I plan to further soak the paper towel and hopefully dislodge the seedlings directly to the soil... If that doesn't work, I will tear off bits and lay them on the wet ground. We'll see what happens.
Cafe Au Lait anyone?
The muddy bottom of the pond got stirred up from an all night rain and now it looks just like a big bowl of coffee with cream.
I left an empty cutoff half gallon jug with my trowel on the steps and it is full to the brim. Does that mean we got 4 inches of rain?
Popeye loves free water.
My poor peat pots are now Peat Pot Soup.
But the long awaited Daffodils are opening and due to the continuing rains, my knees, hips and back get a day of rest from garden work. Oh happy day.
Ah Spring- season of growing and MUD.
ReplyDeleteLIttle kitty prints thru the kitchen (or, as in my case, big doggy prints in the sun room).

I would think tearing off little bits of the towel and planting that way would work. Wouldn't the paper towel just deteriorate and also keep the weeds away just like a layer of newspaper does?
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous... your garden is starting to wake up and bloom!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful everything looks. It's gotten warmish here but we've had snowstorms in March so I don't dare start too early. It's so hard to be patient-especially for me. I have my eye on that orchard.
ReplyDeleteI am SO jealous! We are having another onslaught of snow tonight. I don't think Spring will ever come to Michigan...
ReplyDeleteYou could put the entire paper towel in the dirt. Paper is comes from tree no?
ReplyDelete...and the peat pots, I recently read on a blog that they used cut sections of toilet paper tubes/paper towel tubes as peat pots, adding soil and folding up the ends of course!
ReplyDeleteYes! We did use toilet paper cores as "peat pots". Just cut in half, place a bunch together on a solid tray covered with newspaper, fill with soil, plant seeds, water. When ready to plant just stick each roll in a hole.
ReplyDeleteHere is some Springtime for you:

ReplyDeleteGlad to see that SPRING is happening for you there - we're getting close. Everything has buds on it, but not open yet. And I saw a robin!
