I am interested in growing grains this year and spotted wheat and flaxseed in the bulk section of the grocery store so I just had to buy some and plant them. It only took 3 days for the sprouts to spring up and after 2 weeks this is what they look like – wheat in the back, flaxseed in the front.
Although we have snow piled up outside (along with a whole lot of other folks in the country) I was pleasantly surprised to see the marigold plants starting to bloom!
The Amaryllis is ready to bloom and Frankie the dog just had to get his hound nose in on the picture … that nose sniffs everything!!!
I am working diligently on my quilt and I posted on my GRIT blog along with pictures … check it out when you have the time – the whole website has alot of valuable information!
You have a great blog! I’m just getting started in the gardening world and I just found your post from last year about saving spinach seeds. How did you get on? Did you have any luck with your seeds? My spinach started going to seed and I’d like to save them for a winter crop.
Yes! They worked great! I planted the seed I saved; in the fall and they grew – they were even growing after the frost hit us and I had several cuttings to eat. I still have more saved seed I plan to use this spring! Thank you for the nice comment and definitely save the spinach seeds,,,it works!
