I did get some baby carrots last year, but they were grown in containers and grew much faster, so they were edible by mid March.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-65988593615642629862010-01-05T19:16:48.817-08:002010-01-05T19:16:48.817-08:00Can't wait to try my carrots again.

Mr. H says we should have stayed home in front of the fireplace and raised tomatoes on the windowsill! Sorry about the mouse problem. We had them in our garage one winter, while we were in AZ, and came home to find three of them had fallen into the chest freezer and couldn't escape....not a good way to die. Now we leave the freezer plugged in and the door closed!<br /><br />********<br />Daphne, I hope it is cilantro. Then it won't outgrow the pot and I can take it home with me for the big garden. Stefaneener sent both cilantro and kale, and the larger seeds were identified as kale...I may have misread that, as I think the cilantro seed is larger than the kale seed. <br /><br />I don't write many checks anymore, preferring to use a check card, but I'll pre-date the next ten checks with 2010 so I don't forget! Maybe entering it often on my blog will make it sink into my brain quicker.<br /><br />********<br />Kelly, I've not had problems with spinach germinating up north. The spinach that didn't germinate was leftover seed from 2008, so it probably is no longer viable. The spinach in the container was from a new package, and had 100% germination.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-42635274614740412402010-01-04T05:05:29.049-08:002010-01-04T05:05:29.049-08:00Nice seedlings AG, I always have a hard time getti...Nice seedlings AG, I always have a hard time getting spinach to much.

Those aren't kale seed leaves. <br /><br />I had trouble remembering 2010 too.

I've planted twice and I'm having a rough time getting anything to germinate. We've been having some unusually cold temps here this year. It's like the ice age LOL Plus, we've had a couple of "MICES" that come from the woods right behind us - and they've found my seedlings! We're working to get rid of them now. <br /><br />You're puppy is so cute! And I completely agree - 2010 just sounds so weird. It is definitely going to take some time to get used to saying and writing it.Judyhttp://www.ft2garden.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-69596755780453955552010-01-03T20:32:34.836-08:002010-01-03T20:32:34.836-08:00Kitsap, Mr. H still says we're going home in ?...Kitsap, Mr. H still says we're going home in ?February, so most of the garden may be for naught.<br /><br />********<br /><br />EG, I've never grown nor eaten kale, either.

I wonder what else it could be. . . not tat soi, but it looks too feathery to be Siberian kale. Maybe as it gets bigger. I'm going to mess up my reputation as a seed sharer if it's not true!Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.com
