Quick WS update...

Well, garden stuff is coming up all over - but NO PICTURES still!  :-(((
 
Of the wintersown stuff, let's see... (from memory)
~ Poppy (several types)
~ Cleome
~ One Sweet pea
~ Amaranthus - yay!
 
A few others may be starting now that we FINALLY have decent weather; I'll update tomorrow.
 
Indoors... my biggest sprouting success ever:  under-2-day Wonder Broccoli.  I planted it in a mushroom tray on Wednesday night; they were up before Shabbos.  Weird; it was just two mixed-up, mouse-nibbled packs left over from last year.  I was really just testing the seed, and now I have to totally thin it out!
 
Tomatoes continue to thrive in the Lee Valley "windowsill" starter (though not on a windowsill as those are covered in coleus at the moment).
 
Growing nicely:
~ Teddy bear sunflowers
~ Lemon bee balm
~ Butterfly bush
~ Petunias - getting really thick & bushy now!
~ Peppers - yumm...
~ Some other stuff, but with no pics and no energy to run downstairs, I'm not going to report on it all at the moment...
 
Got the Square Foot beds laid out!  Went out today and drove in nails to nail jute twine and mark the actual squares.  Looks so pretty... but totally unplanted and untrellised.  Hope to plant peas this week but who knows when we'll have time to build trellises.
 
Oh, and Pesach - oy.  Don't ask.
 
Nanny's in the hospital...  :-(
Not much to say about that.  It's rarely good news when you're 95.

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
