The perfect gardening day showed up today. Sunshine and just a little breezy. The temp was in the high 60's. I weeded the onions and found some French Hollyhock seedlings coming up. I put them in pots to save for friends or our Spring Seminar plant sale.
The compost pile Middle Monkey and I made yesterday did not heat up. I added some spoiled milk and a lot more water. If it is not heating up by tomorrow I am going to add rabbit poop tea. If that doesn't work fish emulsion. If that doesn't work, I'll just cry. I really need this compost pile to heat up or I am not going to have compost for spring planting.
I am going to start the tomatoes TODAY. I am about a week late.
Hey, I actually posted about gardening on my gardening blog instead of silliness about boys. Is anybody else unable to spell check?

If you only made the compost yesterday, could you be a little too anxious? I have used bloodmeal when I have too much brown stuff & not enough green. It works well. Also do you have it covered to keep in the heat?

No usually 12 to 18 hours does it. I have blood meal. I will add that to my list of things to try before I cry. I have never covered it before.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. Your seeds should do just great. I used to live in Austin many years back, and I remember a rare snow in late Jan, and the following day it was 70+ deg. Seedlings love those warm days and cool nights. It's still raining in Seattle.
It is days later and the seeds are coming up. Yellow pear first.
