Minus 6 degrees celcius


Since last Saturday, our temperatures have dropped....people have gone from wearing tank tops and shorts to cords and parkas.....quite a ridiculous change but much more seasonal.....I was thinking of moving some plants outdoors to harden them off but - hey - it is still March and today it is snowing in Eastern Canada ----- the warm weather last week was really an illusion----hey, folks, it is not summer yet!!!!
The greenhouse geraniums are all in bloom and loving the sunshine....if they keep thriving, they should do extremely well this summer when in their big outdoor pot homes.
Last week, in the warmth, I did some weeding in the back flowerbed....mostly dandelions. I also potted up some Greek Oregano, which seems to be crawling all over.
I am concerned about my carnation, named Desmond.....a lovely little red flower.....it looks grey at the moment but I will be strong and not start to trim it.....please leave me alone for awhile!!!!
I haven't started any tomatoes yet but was lucky to find seeds for the tiny yellow tomato plants....Burpee seeds are being sold at Metro grocery store....MacKenzie Seed do not have small yellow tomato seed pks. this year.
They have a combo package with red and yellow tiny tomatoes......not for me....I like separate seeds. Please comply, MacKenzie!!!!
I also bought a Mesclun mix lettuce seed pkg. as well..
That is the news for now....lovely sunny, cool day here today!!!!!!
