"Here in AZ" is my vacation house that I've decided to put up for sale after living here for five winters. If it sells, I'll be moving "home" for good! For the past 15 years, I've spent half my time in each state....I'm tired of traveling back and forth!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-44062467686725890742009-03-03T10:52:00.000-05:002009-03-03T10:52:00.000-05:00perennialgardener, thanksAnnie's Granny, I find it...perennialgardener, thanks<BR/><BR/>Annie's Granny, I find it funny that you call it "home". You live in two places. Are they both home?<BR/><BR/>Dan, don't worry about me. I have more than enough seed on hand to grow lettuce this summer. I was just going to try that one and see if it held up longer in the heat than my old stand by, Red Sails. I don't need it. It is just fun to try out other varieties. I'm always hunting for heat tolerant lettuce. Most of them don't hold up at all. Our Boston summers really aren't that hot, but still too hot for lettuce all summer.<BR/><BR/>EG, I will. I'm curious too as to how well they hold up. If they do, I will be ecstatic since I really hate the plastic pots that end up blowing around my garden before I get up the energy to wash them out for the next year. If they work well I'm going to have to get other sizes.<BR/><BR/>Tessa, thanks. I've looked at the long range forecast and I know I'll be putting the plants out later than I wanted. It isn't a real big deal. Just a lot of work. I don't have enough light space to keep them inside with the stuff that needs seeding in the middle of March, so I'll have to bring them out everyday and bring them back in until I can finally work my soil. It is probably better for the onions anyway. They probably shouldn't go out that early, but I'm not buying more lights until I know if my LEDs work well. If so I'm getting at least one more. Otherwise it is back to fluorescents.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-62259142323889778112009-03-02T23:30:00.000-05:002009-03-02T23:30:00.000-05:00Your block look great, Daphne!

Today I tried phoning and it says the number is not in service. That's not a very good sign. Do you have another number for them other then 207-962-3400?<BR/><BR/>I may have to order again from another supplier, I did see the Australian Yellow Leaf at a few other sources.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-89090093763026448582009-03-02T14:29:00.000-05:002009-03-02T14:29:00.000-05:00Cool soil blocks.

Nice lettuce too. <BR/><BR/>Still no pinetree order, I'm starting to sound like a broken record. I think I will phone today.
