Too Wet To Garden Today

Hello all blog readers. Today it was raining so we couldn't do much gardening so instead.... we made a double batch of cookies and forgot to double the flour so when they were done they looked like little round dried up mushrooms. But they still taste OK. Happy Unbirthday and we'll see you next week on Grandma's blog (AKA Water and Stone)!

PS The temperatures have been very low and therefore things have been growing VERY slowly but

we hope by next week there will be some noticeable change that we can post. The Morning Glory seeds sprouted and have leaves, but the Sweet Peas are waiting for more sun.

Here are some pictures of our cookies and the morning glorys we planted last week.

Planting Seeds

This morning we planted Sweet Peas and Morning Glorys

in paper cups of potting soil because it is too early to plant them outside. The picture on the right is the seeds we planted soaking in water to help them sprout.

Next we added water and placed them near a window where they should spout in about a week. (see below) I hope by next week we will be able to post a picture of the baby plants.

Peeping Plants

To the right is a photo of some Woodland Poppies peeping though the oak leaves. Later we will have more photos of their progress as Spring arives.

Lately we have been removing all the mulch to see what has survived the long Winter. Despite the snow cover most plants seem to be doing well.

We are anticipating warm weather so we can plant some seeds. I especially am looking forward to planting cosmos, nasturtiums, and sweetpeas.

Below are a few photos of the garden as it looks now.
