Actually spring began March 21st, but it is always a little bit late reaching us in Ontario. I am trying my hand at winter sowing…
I planted mostly flowers from seed in the bins. I planted them mid February and they are just beginning to pop up. We still get freezing temperatures at night so they are growing quite slowly and many of the seeds have yet to show any signs of life. I was beginning to think it wasn’t working and that all my seeds had died. So I searched the Internet to find out more and discovered that it can take up to 8 weeks for the seeds to sprout!
Only a few parsley plants showing up in this one so far…can you see them?
Some sunflowers and lupines….
Black flowered Johnny jump ups and bee balm starting up in this one…
Crocus
Miniature iris
Around the garden some of my bulbs are pushing up through the soil. A couple have even started flowering!
A storm is brewing. Time to go inside and do some more housework ☺️
