Little French Homestead

• Thursday 30 March 2006 - Some gardening

Posted in garden

Today I have really started my spring gardening, I have hoed my flowerbeds, and started the veggies garden, I put directly radishes seeds in the soil, I also have put some green beans and pumkin seeds in pot for sprouting, I'll put them in the soil by the beginning of may.

I'll transplant some lettuce this week-end, I prefer to wait about 2 weeks for tomatoes and potatoes.

I also grow some cayenne pepper in a big pot, but it's far to early for them, as they like sun and warm weather

About flowers, now the crocus are faded, but daffodils and pansies are beautiful, I also have some hyacinths, cowslips and wild violet everywhere in the grass.

I enjoy very much gardening, even if it's a really small "homestead", about 1/8 acres (hope I made the good translation, it's 500 square meters)

Tomorrow I'll post some pics, today was to grey and rainy to take pics

• Thursday 9 March 2006 - Looking for spring...

Posted in garden

I'm waiting for spring, I'm fed up with grey sky and cold rainy days...

We had quite a  cold winter this year in western europe, we had snow until last week, I guess it was the last snow for this winter...

I have some crocus (don't know their name in english) and daffodils in my yard yet, but the lawn is very muddy and it's still to cold to garden.

In our area we have rainy springs, but often warm, I'll be able to start the vegetable garden in 2  or 3 weeks, I' ll start lettuce, radishes and tomatoes...
