Seasons 2014 - Ready for Planting Already

By end of March, look at these cabbage and tomato plants.  They are ready for planting but with snow remaining in the garden, they have to make do in the little dining-room greenhouse.  We will have to move them to a larger space, soon.  With planting time still several weeks away, we might need to eat some of the cabbage leaves to keep these plants in check until they can go outside.  We will see if we get tomato flowers in the next few weeks, and if so, the tomatoes may be ready to eat by early July.



The indoor garden expanded this winter to include baby portabella mushrooms.  This is our third round of mushrooms from one kit.
This brutal winter may have been hard on us but the houseplants have been amazingly happy.  Our Christmas cactus started blooming again this week to welcome spring.


We visited a wonderful bookseller today that specializes in gardening publications of all types: Terrace Horticultural Books.  A great resource for us right in our neighborhood, and on the Web serving gardeners everywhere.
