From this I could quickly determine what seeds were missing from our collection and promptly put in an order to Eden Seeds. I was also able to determine we were going to require a whopping 96 seedling pots.
Despite there being allot more daylight, the temperatures can still get quite cold, and even though rare, the occasional frost is known to happen in my garden this time of year. So to insure some of the more warmer season plants like capsicum successfully germinate I have setup the mini-greenhouse. And after tomorrow when I prepare the potting mix everything will be ready to start sowing seed. Looks like you are not going to surprise us this year spring.
Are you ready for spring?
Here in QLD we don't get a spring and we launch straight from Winter to Summer. Two days ago it got down to 3 degrees and was 24 during the day. Today though it was 29 degrees and is 12 degrees tonight. So I am planting seeds for summer crops. The beans are in and the jalapenos have been potted on. Now I just have to use up the broccoli and fennel before it bolts to seed.
ReplyDeleteIt is disappointing how so many things bolt in spring. So far my fennel hasn't bolted, but you have prompted me to keep a close eye on them.
