WhajagetforChristmas?

December 26, 2009 By Carol Michel 21 Comments

When I was a kid, part of the fun of Christmas was calling up friends on the day after asking “WhajagetforChristmas?” all in one excited breath, and then interrupting one another exclaiming over what we got for Christmas. WhajagetforChristmas? I got some antique seed packets! Aren’t they beautiful! And on the back of each is some wonderful garden advice! Like on the Dwarf German Kale, it says, “…on a moist day after the plants are three or four inches high, transplant to two or three … [Read more...] about WhajagetforChristmas?

Petunia In The Patio

September 1, 2009 By Carol Michel 15 Comments

When you last sowed seeds did you make sure the seed starting mix had been sterilized? How about the container you put it in? Did you make sure it was clean, too? And lighting? Did you pay attention to whether the seeds needed light or dark to germinate and adjust the light accordingly? Soil temperature? Did you get a warming mat to make sure that the soil wasn’t too cold? Of course you paid attention to watering, too? Not too much and not too little? And did you make sure the seeds were … [Read more...] about Petunia In The Patio
