Ribbit, thanks
Bang...Karen I'll let you know.<br /><br />Ribbit, thanks<br /><br />Bangchick, I don't usually garden in the dark (except for slug hunts), but sometimes you just have to.<br /><br />Carol, I looked it up and last year the spinach went in on March 17th, so I'm five days early this year.<br /><br />GrafixMuse, me too<br /><br />Miss M, remay is the generic name of Agribon. My remay is indeed Agribon.<br /><br />EG, :><br /><br />Stefaneener, well I do have a headlamp, but it isn't very powerful. It is a very old little LED headlamp.<br /><br />The Mom, we are still waiting for three more schools to respond, but hopefully the process will all be over soon.<br /><br />kiwi gomes, I hope so<br /><br />Granny, Oh yes gardening by flashlight is perfectly normal ;><br /><br />kitsapFG, oh when something needs to get done, it gets done. If they could have waited, I would have. I'm not fond of freezing to death for my garden, but I'll do it.<br /><br />Funkbunny, I do that with slugs.<br /><br />Meredith, yup and the pain of frozen fingers gets forgotten, but the spinach will be loved for quite a while. I'm still eating last spring spinach that I froze.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-20890569488395940702010-03-13T17:35:30.881-05:002010-03-13T17:35:30.881-05:00I'm glad you went to get your daughter.

I felt my fingers go numb the day I planted all the mustard seeds back in February, and so I sympathize. However, you did your duty by your baby and your baby sprouted seeds, so it's all good.<br /><br />We gardened by flashlight several times last August when the heat was just too overwhelming to get everything done in the daylight hours -- and many mornings I was at work in the garden by 5:00, when it was still cool enough to think. :)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-80295534482688899452010-03-13T16:22:42.842-05:002010-03-13T16:22:42.842-05:00Great post!

I thought I was going over the edge transplanted raspberry or strawberry starts in the dark and cold because they NEEDED to go in and could not wait.
