But I have been thinking that if we get a stretch of warm sunny weather with no wind, I may make the journey down to burn off the asparagus bed for the spring. This year, our focus will be on tomatoes as we are our of several things we stock so there won't be a big rush to get started.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-49594131951563484532023-02-27T07:05:21.913-05:002023-02-27T07:05:21.913-05:00Dontcha just love a volunteer!

I hope the weather cooperates, so that you can get some of your tasks completed.<br /><br />I've been marveling at the success of my winter sowing. There is so much coming up in my little recycled containers. It's the best method I've tried thus far for seedlings.<br />Planted Yukon Golds yesterday and I need to get my snap peas in this week. <br /><br />Enjoy your week!daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-72909872875751881562023-02-26T21:01:51.488-05:002023-02-26T21:01:51.488-05:00TB, these warm spring days are so tempting, but li...TB, these warm spring days are so tempting, but like you, I know better than to plant too much!<br /><br />Quinn, so much snow up north!

Seems it's all been deposited farther north. <br /><br />Boud, cooking is part of it! :)<br /><br />Katie, they can take light frosts, but not hard freezes. So it's something of a gamble, but if I plant them too much later, warm spring weather pushes them to bolt.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-3555582732707808332023-02-26T08:49:23.440-05:002023-02-26T08:49:23.440-05:00You can plant snow peas and/or radishes even if it...You can plant snow peas and/or radishes even if it frosts?Katie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952654351913132922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-34304988657650843072023-02-26T08:20:47.374-05:002023-02-26T08:20:47.374-05:00I like to see the results on your table!
