We planted cold weather seeds last Saturday.  Cabbage, arugula, lettuce, mustard, and kale seeds all need between 50 and 70 degrees to germinate.  We are keeping  them warm in our little greenhouse in the basement.  And when I checked on them on Wednesday, some had sprouted!!!  

 

On Saturday while I was planting seeds, I threw some arugula seeds in the arugula bed.  We get about 3 crops of arugula every year there.  Those seeds have NOT sprouted;  the ground is still too cold for them to germinate.  But they will eventually.

 

Wanna see our greenhouse?  What's that acronym for unique art?  OOAK:  one of a kind!!!  I'm sure this qualifies.  ;D   We designed it to be portable, so we can break it down when we're finished for the winter, and store it neatly under the sofa in the basement.  We are on our sixth season with this little greenhouse.  It works great!!!  We can put another shelf and up to 6 flats in it.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
