My eyes have been opened!

After getting onto the gardening forums all over the net someone has pointed out something interesting that has given me a whole new outlook on winter gardening.

Instead of indoor winter gardening someone said to winter sow my seeds OUTDOORS?!!

I was intrigued..

Check out Wintersown.org 

 

This is a great instructional read and i have to give lots of credit for doing this on a short budget and recycling!  This might be added to my activities list for january after the holiday mess is over.

But thank you for the helpful information!

The tip came from one of the helpful members on "idigmygarden.com" 

Its coming along

The indoor garden is comming along. Aready i have…..

A bag of the onion greens i have not been able to go through. I have taken approx. 5-6 cuttings of the greens already for dish seasonings. This is a must keep for the kitchen and basement garden. Today is fertalizer friday. I remember it better by saying it that way. I gave all my plants a shot of all purpose liquid fertalizer.

Here is my stuff so far 

14 days after i planted the seeds i got in the mail and 20 days (estimated) after i had planted everything else (the mesculen, the onions, and the potato)

this is chicory bionda i think this one is interesting right now because the leaves look so full and thick and productive already at their small size!

 

But as to new additions. i am excited.

As i had said i found another neat catalog which will be another post but keep your eyes out for pics that i found in the catalog and also pick that have been chosen by their helpful forum " I Dig My Garden"
