The wild turkeys wandered through, first wild life we have seen this winter. Have not seen a deer yet this winter. It had to be tough on them.You are brave to be putting plants out now. Mine are going to stay inside under the lights for now.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-36914914427550513682015-03-25T08:43:00.249-04:002015-03-25T08:43:00.249-04:00It has been unusually warm here for a good spell n...It has been unusually warm here for a good spell now, which, when covered in snow still, one might think is a good thing...except that the fruit trees are all and we truly still have a good two months until we are guaranteed to be without freezes here in the high desert. I have been feeling behind on everything with the move coming up this weekend and have yet to put a single seed into soil of any kind. This will either be a truly bountiful season, or...well...not. However, I am jealous of your record keeping and the knowledge, right there in black and white, that you still have time to plant your peas :-) I'm really hoping/trusting that this is our last move for a while...I'm ready to put down some new roots!Melissahttp://evergrowingfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-30992380174253553592015-03-24T23:47:52.350-04:002015-03-24T23:47:52.350-04:00Your plants look so healthy and like they are enjo...Your plants look so healthy and like they are enjoying that sunshine!

I have yet to figure out what the "normal" time to plant out early spring crops like peas is - if there is such a thing as normal anymore.<br /><br />And I too recall (long ago) reading about the whole issue with nitrates in greenhouse greens grown in the lower light levels during the winter.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-48437102722598370132015-03-24T19:22:38.776-04:002015-03-24T19:22:38.776-04:00It must be a relief to have a bit of warmth and to...It must be a relief to have a bit of warmth and to see a little bit of the garden reappearing. 2012 was a warm one.
