I seem to have come out of last week’s Sadie disaster OK. Almost all of the rescued seedlings are not only surviving but growing. A big phew for Miss Sadie. As I had suspected, not all the seedlings are where they are supposed to be, but as they get bigger they will all be sorted out. As mixed varieties of course. None of the baby eucalyptus survived, they were just too small but everything else is doing well, although not in the numbers I was expecting, but it was really just a practice run anyway I tell myself. The real big first seed sowing begins tomorrow. I will be sowing seeds for spring and it will be snowing that night. Poor man’s fertilizer.
The sweet pea seedlings are growing nicely, will be getting their first pinch, ouch! Then they will being going outside into the high tunnel to harden off. I am hoping by the first week of April they will be getting planted into the cutting garden. The anemones and ranunculus are looking really good. They would be looking so much better if I could see flower buds. Patience.
Out in the cutting garden the fragrant heirloom narcissus are starting to emerge from the soil but no sign of the stunning tulips that I have planted. I know, it is early for tulips but it is just so exciting.
As soon as I get enough flowers to start to sell I will send out a newsletter, so make sure that you are on the mailing list and have your gift cards ready. This way you can shop with ease when you get the notice that we are rolling.
