Leftover tiles? What a great idea!

I just got this email from Mother Earth News

I buy dried kelp meal from dirtworks.net, so I would imagine seaweed would sell too.

LOL :lol: I'll have to tell my Mom that you said that! She was doing all the hard work - I was just photodocumenting everything. I think the secret is that the gardening season hasn't started yet (here at least). Or maybe it's all the hand washing of dishes. She loves to do dishes......:lau

I was wondering who could possibly plant potatoes in August! My poor USDA potatoes had to sit in the fridge for 6 months!

Transplanting seedlings tonight! Also, anyone remember the USDA "free" seed thing from last year? Well, I planted 3 types of pepper from them and the potatoes they sent last August. Everything has sprouted up! But the garden is still covered in at least 2 to 3 feet of snow.

Gaaaa! You guys are driving me crazy with your signs of spring!!! :barnie We still have TONS of snow left to melt. :rant

I like this company They even have how to videos.

I ordered everything in Jan. and now I'm starting my plants and WAITING for SPRING. I learned the hard way not to wait too long to order seeds and plants. They sell out fast!

Hi! :frow :welcome

I was looking at the sprouts tonight and remembered that we started a few tomatoes too. So far we have almost 100% germination!

O that is too bad! I would have been super mad! It sounds like they did it on purpose, so I think fencing is the only option. Maybe with an electric wire run around the top - to discourage jumpers. But hey! this is a great excuse for a potager!

So far we have peppers,eggplants, geraniums and petunias. I found some more pepper seeds that I want to plant. In a week or so we will start tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, kale, more flowers - and some other stuff I can't remember! :P

I must be in the really cold part of MN :lol: LOL I have had thyme come back every year. Chives too. I have tried every single "winter hardy" lavender and they are beautiful for one year, but die in the winter (even with protection). But you might have a micro climate like lavender2. I...

I thought you might like to see my seed starting set up. I posted it on my blog There are a lot of pictures.

You don't need to worry. I planted habeneros next to sweet bells last year without problems. The cross polination happens with the next year's plant - IF you save seeds from year to year.

Hey there - Dill and Sage aren't usually winter hardy in MN. I plant my sage, rosemary and bay in pots and bring them inside for the winter. I'll bet the dill re-seeded itself - they throw out a TON of seeds!

What about this one? Ridges and green shoulders.

Did they sprout or get mushy or ? The UofM extension says The advice my Dad gave me - Don't wash the potatoes and store them in a cool, dark place in 5 gallon buckets. I'm still using ones that I harvested last year. My storage room is a little bit too warm and some have started to sprout...
