The watch

Blog entry by Dahlitsa posted 257 days ago 168 reads 0 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites

Mar.8 I keep on watching and watching and watching. Well the Coleus already have there 2nd leaves and I have tansplanted them to their own little pots and they are doing just fine. I think about 60 of them. yicks!

I still keep hoping to see my Sea Holly but they are not showing themselves yet. Boy am I impatient or what? I just thought of the watch kettle that never boils…hope that doesn’t apply here. I went and started some more today in a moistened coffee filter inside a ziplock bag. Which will appear first?

The Impatience are divided. Half are still not to be seen while the other half are doing well and a couple have just got their second set of leaves. Hmmmmmm.

MY Delphinium babies have just begun to pop out after having put them under an old heat pad. Yeah for you guys, keep on keeping on.

Now you Petunias, some of you are up and some not and some that were up have fallen down. Maybe I shouldn’t have listened to that blurp that said to get them under the lights ASAP after they had sprouted. maybe I should have waited another day or two. I have already planted some more seeds.

you Phlox guys are doing well. If you keep going like you are, I will be going crazy finding room before the final frost has gone.

Now my indoor hostas, you guys are still sleeping yet but I have you on the nice warm blanket which I’ve heard that you like and just in case I put my last seeds in the coffee filter/ziplock bag. Come on guys pleeeese!

The watch kettle does boil eventually, doesn’t it?

I am what is called a 'people person', so it would really be my pleasure to have a visit with you, even invite you for a cup a . Gardening is one of my fun things along with quilting.Before moving to the town of Cambridge I had very little space for either so now I can indulge in these favourite pastimes. Quilting in the winter and gardening in the spring by indoor sowing and of course the summer in the several garden beds. I have one large bed at the back of my backyard, a center one, two more on either side of our back deck and still another underneath a window of the lower floor. then there are two long ones on both sides of the house running the full length of the house. Two more at the front of the house next to the house and the final one at the front and to the side of the house. I think that is 10. What was I thinking of. I'm nearly 68 yrs. old. Yicks LOL

You gals are too funny! I am having such a chuckle. My babies are tucked in nice and warm and yes stretching toward the light and as I look out the window there is a raging snowstorm. Wow.

Yah here too … snowed all day. Fortunately for the amount of snow that “looked” like it was coming down, we didn’t get too bad of an accumulation.

I should have taken a picture of my truck…. definitely a foot of snow on top of it!
Where we walked this morning is now in a 3 foot snowbank… beautiful!
And it’s still snowing! Been 12 hours of heavy snow so far
