I was thinking of sprouting another batch and planting them out, but I have other plans right now so probably won't find the time! Another project beginning Monday. I have a great-grandchild having a birthday party today....two year old boys don't understand the importance of gardening over parties, even when the sun is shining and it's warm outside LOL!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-66106358577223576972012-03-25T16:14:26.268-04:002012-03-25T16:14:26.268-04:00I usually chit when the ground is really cold in s...I usually chit when the ground is really cold in spring. It gives them a jump. I just didn't bother to this time. I figured the ground was so warm they would come up anyway.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-64237605063667950582012-03-25T15:56:13.360-04:002012-03-25T15:56:13.360-04:00Granny, the spinach are my pre-sprouted, tranplant...Granny, the spinach are my pre-sprouted, tranplanted seedlings. The peas were chitted. I think my transplnts are doing so well because they have had over five days of rain this week. Is your spinach a hybrid? I'm shocked ar how much better the hybrid 'Scarlet' is doing than three open pollinated varieties. Thanks for remindeing me I have to get my way to many shallots seedlings in the ground.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433165045195052022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-23252197300523082012012-03-25T13:47:35.342-04:002012-03-25T13:47:35.342-04:00Your chitted spinach is growing faster than my tra...Your chitted spinach is growing faster than my transplants. I'm about to rip out the tiny onions (the ones I started from seeds, not the sweet onion plants) that are doing absolutely nothing, and replace that section with chitted spinach seeds! Dang, new ideas have me moving and changing things already :-(Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
