Re: Eager for spring

 

I hope your garden flourishes too...I start seeds in my bedroom because it
gets the most sunlight, it has one window facing south, and one
facing...east I think, could be west, too lazy to go get my compass
now...and my lettuce leaf basil has sprouted! Yay! I couldn't get ANY basil
to sprout last year(I have sweet/genovese, lettuce leaf, spicy globe, and
lemon)



I am so ready for spring.  Here in DE I have daffodils that are about
4" out of the ground.
We just went to a seed store and got 'maters, cukes, green peppers,
zuchini, lettuce, spinach, sugar snap peas, & green beans. Now today
starts the planting of the seeds. We have a room with 2 skylites that
should provide enough sun to get them out of the ground. When it warms
up we will put them outside on nice days til the nights get warm
enough to harden them off. This is the biggest garden we have ever
grown, it should be intresting. More space can be tilled if we need
it, and I think we just may!!
Hope your garden flourishes!!

Hi Lilah,

If you stand and look out of your south facing window. East is on your Left
and West is on your Right. Hope this helps you.

    Here Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.  Looking south same
as Richard's post. Sort of reminds me to make sure the sun dial is ready
for another year.

 Bill who has a Sun dial watch . Fun stuff sort of a gentle reminder of
connection to nature.
