Potting Shed Puzzle

What do you do when you are not gardening? Thinking of gardening. The folks found this puzzle of a potting shed in spring. It is helping pass the time until spring actually comes. Currently it is 0 degrees. BRRRRRRRR.

Seeds!

This weekend, we started planting seeds indoors. Looking back on our records, this was the exact same day we started planting them last year. Here is a tray ready for planting.

The soiless mix is coir, perlite, and sand. This year we used less sand as it was too heavy. Coir is a great replacement for peat as it is made up of coconut hull fibers instead of being taken from peat bogs. The mix worked great last year, here is hoping for more happy seedlings.

Round one consisted of planting eggplant, impatiens, begonias, vinca, viola, yellow vine bleeding heart, primrose, and petunias.

Icicles

Icicles dot the landscape as the snow melts and freezes once again. The pine trees sparkle with their winter decorations.
