I was reaching into the mini greenhouse to water some of the hidden seedlings when...
...AHH, a wasp and it's building a hive! I stood there screaming until my dad came out with a broom and boldly knocked it out of the greenhouse. The wasp quickly buzzed away without harming anyone. Now I feel kind of bad for ruining its little home.
It's chilly even in the greenhouse in the middle of the day. How strange because the warm crops are supposed to be transplanted to the ground this week : /
Last minute cloches in case snow falls. The giant Costco chicken containers were great :D
One of my goals this year is to keep everything organized with labels and matching containers/trays. So far everything is looking spectacular ( ^^ )b
Droopy three week old cauliflower seedlings in dire need of a warm current. Hang in there, guys! This chilly weather should be over in no time.
Six week old chives are splitting at the base.
One week old Swiss chard. Turns out one "seed" from the packet is actually a cluster of approximately four seeds. Now there are twenty seedlings starring at me versus the intended five.
Seven week old spinach seedlings packed together tightly in their tiny home.
A cozy 16 degrees Celsius inside the mini greenhouse. It was a scorching 30 last week with the surprise appearance of the blazing sun in early March.
The thyme is loving the temperature. They're a little leggy but getting bushier each day.
The overwintering mesclun seedlings are taking their lovely time to grow.
One month old spinach seedlings are also taking a while to mature.
Munchkin broccoli. What a cute name for a what I hope to be tiny, adorable broccoli.
Carrot peeping out of the soil. Hi, there!
After a rather slow start in February, the green tips are now growing like mad :D
Good news: The cabbage has survived the first part of winter
Bad news: It doesn't look very appetizing with its discoloured and wilted leaves.
So this is where my rusty, old trowel disappeared to. Why did you drown yourself?
What a mess.
Let's shove everything in the greenhouse!
The greenhouse got knocked down by the vigorous wind that has been hitting the city by surprise. I could barely make it from Loblaws back to my car the other day and it was only a few feet away. Anyhoo, there is now a wonderful mess in the yard with soil and pots scattered everywhere, most of them piled near the shed hole. Hmph.
After overeating at Pizza Hut as we always do, we went over to Walmart where I got my aunt a cute ladybug lamp for her front yard. It's her first ever, and I'm sure a collection will appear soon. It's becoming her new obsession!
My uncle felt excluded, and decided to get himself a gift. It's a small 3-tier greenhouse perfect for his ailing peppers and yams.
