I need to get more seeds started but it is rough when you are 8 months pregnant!<br><br>We planted peas in late February, early March (just a couple hours south of you) and most of them rotted. That's the problem with planting peas. If the soil is cold and damp they may well rot. I'm going to wait another few weeks this year.<br><br>Have you read about Winter Sowing? Someone introduced me to the concept this winter and I love it. www.wintersowing.org. <br><br>I'm looking forward to seeing many garden pictures!!Kristinhttp://www.solarfamilyfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994967819405801133.post-473053546885722742009-03-02T15:10:43.000-05:002009-03-02T15:10:43.000-05:00I planted some seeds in our south facing kitchen b...I planted some seeds in our south facing kitchen bay window, cool at night but warm on the sunny days. So far cilantro, celery, tomatoes, basil. I have some small spinach in the garden that was under a row cover and some plastic where I also put some onion and lettuce seeds now. We are experimenting since we just moved here last summer and only had a couple things planted then. Now we have to fence the garden in though because our 6 chickens free range and boy did they attack that spinach when i was rearranging the covers. I had to shew them away bigtime so now we know what will happen to a newly planted garden too. Glad everything went well with the court business. Praying for you and family.

I live north of Chicago so there's PLENTY of time before it's past frost.<br><br>A question about succession planting: do you do it in the same bed as your first planting? Or seed different places at different times? (If applicable: How do you know when a place is ready for reseeding?) <br><br>Also, any suggestions on grow lights? Sadly our apartment & balcony get 4-5 hours of light at most, ending by noon. Our plants did well in the peak of summer but were puny other times, and I think they need more light. But we must grow more of our food.<br><br>Thanks!Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994967819405801133.post-15592197773504587932009-03-05T02:36:55.000-05:002009-03-05T02:36:55.000-05:00Kristen,I have not read that....I'll check it ...Kristen,<br>I have not read that....I'll check it out.
