It is cold and it is snowing! Can I get you a hot beverage? Coffee? Tea? How are you? Are you enjoying some well deserved time off this Easter weekend? I am enjoying a long four-day-weekend with my daughter.
Yesterday I spent a lot of time outdoors. This morning I decided to do some things around the house, including some seed starting. If you follow this blog you know that I start most of my seeds in the cold of winter. However there are some seeds that appreciate a warmer start. They can also be planted directly, but i would have to wait until June before planting them, and in our region we need to make the most out of the growing season. The seeds I started today are: cucumber (I am planning on growing a lot of them this year, enough for pickles,) two varieties of pumpkins, squash, egg plant, beans, rosemary and basil.
They will live in this little mini greenhouse, at my window sill until they out grow the space, likely a few weeks. Depending on the weather I might transfer them to separate pots for a while, or transplant them directly to a raised bed.
While enjoying my morning coffee earlier today I started to watch a series on the Swedish television called “With the roots in the snow”. It is a gardening series following gardeners in the most northern part of Sweden. They all live in the mountain region. It is very inspiring and I can not wait to watch the rest of the series. There’s some amazing gardeners out there, making the impossible possible. It is still rather cheap to purchase property in this part of Sweden and if it is possible to have an amazing garden there….
What’s going on in your neck of the woods this Easter weekend? The Easter bunny is paying us a visit tomorrow morning……Please have a look at Natalies positive coffee share! Positivity and gratitude is something this world can not have enough off, something I was reminded about at another blog I visited today.
