Take that Mother Nature! It has snowed, gone below zero, rained every day this week and been down right, unseasonably, unthinkably yucky. But under the frost blankets and hoop tunnels, we have germination!! Not much, not all, and not quickly, but we have it. The seedlings we planted under the hoops are also happy and thriving, whew!
Score Tally: Us = 2, Mother Nature = 0… The “Spring that Wasn’t” saga continues…
Lovely little green veggie babies snuggled under their blankie…kind of cute, hey? These were planted 10 days ago.
And under the hoops the big brother and sister seedlings are going strong! Not much germination yet, but they were only planted on Sunday. Can you spot the lone Bok Choi poking up?
Under the hoops are Taunus, Detriot Dark Red Supreme, Chioggia and First Crop beets, Rainbow mix and Napoli carrots, Cherry Belle and Easter Egg radish, Bok Choi, Peppermint and Bright Lights Swiss Chard, Ragged Jack and Dinosaur Kale, red and white onion sets, Giant Musselborough Leek, overwintered hard neck garlic and Butter Crunch lettuce.
I hope they all stay alive and that more join them soon!

Hello. I’m delighted that your daughter would like to join in with Tree Following. I’ve added your blog to the Loose and Leafy Tree Following Page ( http://looseandleafy.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-is-tree-following-and-list-of-tree.html ). There’s information about Tree Following there but if there’s anything else you need to know, do email me at looseandleafy@googlemail.com
When you know which tree you’ve decided upon, let me know and I’ll add the details.
The next box for Tree Following posts will be from 7th – 14th May. Looking forward to reading about your tree!

That’s great. I’ve added that to the info. Would you like a town or area included with your location or is Nova Scotia specific enough?

Nova Scotia is fine! I am trying to add the little tree icon to the side of my blog but my blog won’t seem to accept it! Where do we post our first? My wee girl got her picture tonight and is working on her little story tomorrow!

Hello. re. the Tree Following icon. I don’t know how WordPress works but this is the URL for the tree picture
http://tinyurl.com/qaesqpb
If that doesn’t work, have you tried copying and pasting it from the tree following page?
Failing that, Mike at Flighty’s Plot has an emblem in his sidebar and his is a WordPress Blog. Perhaps he would be able to explain?
If you’d like a picture which opens the Tree Following Page in a new window when clicked, I can send you the html. It’s longer than makes sense in a comment box but I could email it to you. (I don’t know much about this and am assuming it works on WordPress as well as Blogspot but maybe only by trying it can we tell!)
My email address is looseandleafy@googlemail.com
