Sure feels like Spring today!



The temperature has risen today to warmth that feels like Spring! At this moment, 2:15PM on Wed., March 7th, (my sister-in-law's birthday, Happy Day, Karen!) the thermometer on the patio is reading +12 degrees Celcius. Also, today, hubby and I put the greenhouse shade up...the shade is getting fragile as it is 27 years old....and everytime we put it up in Spring or remove it in Autumn, I sew some tears....pretty sure we will have to buy new netting and make a new one sometime this year.
The plants in the greenhouse are thriving on neglect-really - as we have been working on some redecorating in our house and I didn't get out there to look closely at the plants till Monday. Did some cleanup, threw out a peace lily and 2 spiders (that were at my church and not looking great or doing very well), repotted quite a few plants so all in all, it is looking much better.
I have not started any seedlings yet but now that I have some room for things to grow, I will look at my packages and start planting......
I recently found a couple of mouldy nasturtium seeds in the greenhouse and stuck them in a little pot of earth and lo and behold, one plant came through the dirt....amazing....at the top of this entry is a picture for you see this unbelievable little miracle of Mother Nature....
Here is another picture of my tall geranium tree....a pale pink geranium is blooming at the top....I have been growing this plant for about 3 years and in the summer, I put it outdoors and tie it to the fence so it won't blow over or break off.....a shoot came out of the bottom of the plant so today I cut it off and potted it and hope it will grow for me...
That is my story for today...must go and ride my bike on this wonderful afternoon....
