i ...look at your vegetable plots? and a greenhouse?<br />i planted two tomatoes in pots a week ago. now it might freeze, so i put them under a blooming lilac bush for protection. i don't know if that will work. my other choice was to bring them indoors, bugs and all.<br />i don't know how gardeners do it.<br />in the summer, i wait until my tomatoes droop. then i know it is time to water them.Seraphinehttp://EncoreSeraphine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-10175459227491840952010-03-31T20:47:53.865+01:002010-03-31T20:47:53.865+01:00re peppylady's comment - so true.

The plot is at the canoe club, the canoe club is by the water & it's always cooler out there.<br /><br />Last frost isn't until April but I think I might put some seeds in the bed this weekend anyways.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-39476348220065953452010-03-29T03:03:42.289+01:002010-03-29T03:03:42.289+01:00Glad to see spring is springing in your garden, Cl...Glad to see spring is springing in your garden, Claire. Your weather sounds like ours. We had glorious sunshine and warmth a week and a half ago, and now back to frigid wind and tonight we have cold rain. Miserable indeed!<br />However, we do have crocus and snowdrops in the garden and the daff buds are about to burst open.<br />Your little daffys are gorgeous and I wish I had your hellebores. Love the iris reticulatas too. What a colour!<br />Our house kitties get fat over the winter too :)<br />I have a niggeldy back too and have to watch it. Have you tried a garden hopper (little seat with wheels). I find mine is the best thing since sliced bread for my back.<br />Happy spring!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-60279934958844672702010-03-27T07:06:50.111+00:002010-03-27T07:06:50.111+00:00Yes, it is a worry this time of year when the nigh...Yes, it is a worry this time of year when the nights are still so cold and daytime in the greenhouse gets rather warm. Still, it's lovely to see little seedlings started.Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-36658012258820029202010-03-27T02:11:32.393+00:002010-03-27T02:11:32.393+00:00It amazing how things bloom all over the world.
