We may try some in the garden as it seems pests and diseases are worse on the plot with so many growing food crops so closely to one another. Our spring is late this year but nothing to do with snow just dull and cold weather.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-36163379835874662322015-04-07T05:01:51.938-03:002015-04-07T05:01:51.938-03:00Oh gosh, by the time I have commented, hope the sn...Oh gosh, by the time I have commented, hope the snow has melted away. We have had no snow this year, but plenty of hailstones and rain. I am glad you have gardening mags to keep you inspired. I need to get into growing, the garden is not even dug yet and usually as you know in the past i have been so organised. No idea what seeds we have either. Still look forward to comparing notes when things get going green. I hope your both well. Warmest of wishes as always.

It's still white and miserable but that sun has a definite warmness to it. I planted my basil and tomatoes this weekend, bring on spring! I wonder too though, what have the mice done? I worry for the trees and shrubs. They are so slow to grow and any set back is hard. I love the idea of annual flowers. As you know I'm fond of cosmos, any reason to plant them is a good one. A little extra colour in the garden is always welcome. Take care and hang on, the snow will be gone soon.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-11684451066863643342015-03-29T15:00:14.759-03:002015-03-29T15:00:14.759-03:00Books need time to germinate.

We don't have any snow to contend with at present, but lots of wind. It is blowing a gale today, and I am watching my plants get a battering! There is a little rain falling too, but not really enough to do any good. We do need more proper rain because the Winter and Spring so far have been very dry, which does not bode well for later on. I hope you can soon get out and do some gardening. One things is for sure - there is not excuse for lack of planning this year!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-77226718596939614092015-03-29T03:09:55.103-03:002015-03-29T03:09:55.103-03:00I agree with Pondside.

I can't even see where my garden beds are hiding and I am usually pretty close to planting early peas and trees in the tunnels by now.....I found Sub Arctic Plenty seeds at Home Depot by McKenzie!!! I will have to try saving some this year - I have saved flower seeds in abundance, but never veggies. Nasturtiums, Calendulas, marigolds, sunflowers and snapdragons are some of my favourites in the veggie bed. Nasturtiums as an aphid trap, Calendulas to eat, marigolds and snapdragons to deter pests (ha!) and sunflowers to make me and the birdies happy!
