Nice green house. I have seen that one at a few places, tempted to get it, but holding back

Well, MsD,
The chards are the colored variety. Grew them last year in the flower beds and make for a nice addition. As well very tasty. They are not hard to grow, which is why I tried them here!! As for the rest, it is a waiting game!!:-)

And B,
After starting seeds inside for more than a quarter of a century, not being very good at it, I decided not to wait another quarter of century and to have some fun! :-)

What a novel idea … have to remember this one for when we finally get out to Arizona … my son is in an apartment with a nice balcony. Thanks for the tip and sharing this great idea!!! :-)

Well, it is not doing that well, mind you it has been on the deck for almost two weeks and does get dry!

so they need extra care but they still look good!

‘E’, perhaps the plantlets need protection from the wind or perhaps too much sun for little newbies.
Again, perhaps they have had a bit of a shock. They’ll be fine.

That’s what I call recycling. I had a couple of those baskets and never thought of using them this way

Smart you are

I think I will so my salad garden in a tub this year on the deck too and save my wee space for other things

I never tried growing romaine lettuce and its a fav too. It is hard to grow E?? Or just as easy as others??

Thanks Bunting!:-)

And yes it is as easy as all other lettuce!

I have a question about lettuce. Can it go in the ground prior to the last frost date?

-- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a)

Yes it can: I let some go to seed last year and it had started under the snow!!!:-)

-- Eklectic, Follow my Bliss, South East Ontario 5a

thanks. I’m going to go plant some seeds now! :)

Root veg. can be started prior to last frost date: carrots, beets, radishes
