I am SO proud of these blooms!
Comments (19)Ingrid, I agree that 'Boscobel' isn't a terribly romantic name, but imagine how I felt when the first Austin rose I fell for was 'Mortimer Sackler'. Named for a wonderful person, I imagine, but not the most romantic-sounding name... Virginia...See MoreOT Where am I

Comments (7)Kristin, It is hard to suggest to someone else what to do with their seedlings because none of us live in your exact climate/weather conditions nor do we know how strong your plants are, so we're just guessing. I usually harden my plants off first for a week on a screened-in porch where the screening provides some wind and sun protection. Then they go outside for 1 hr. the first day, 2 hrs. the second, 3 hrs. the third, etc. Once they are able to stay outside from sunrise to sunset, I leave them on the screened-in porch or in the potting shed which protects them from night-roaming plant-eaters like rabbits and deer but exposes them to cooler night air. If the temps are forecast to drop below 45 degrees, they go into the well-insulated barn. If a surprise snow storm or high winds arrive, they may find themselves spending a day or two in the garage. I never leave mine outside in the yard at night because if I did, the deer would throw a wild party and invite all their friends and I wouldn't have any seedlings by the next morning. I'd say that if you feel comfortable leaving them outside at night, go ahead, but be aware that any wild things, including domestic cats and dogs, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, etc. roaming around at night may 'visit' them, and sometimes you have surprising number of animals roaming even in suburban areas. Also, always trust your instincts about the weather and do not trust the forecast. I have had a forecast of an overnight low of 50 lull me into a false sense of security only to have plants damaged when the overnight low dropped to 32 degrees. I learned an important lesson there. If your wind is forecast to blow higher than maybe 12-15 mph all night, I wouldn't leave them out. They need a break from the wind, and it has been relentless all week and should be strong again tomorrow. Dawn...See MoreBuilt my boxes...How should I orientation my garden?
Comments (1)I also trellis a lot of things so my boxes are oriented east/west so the north side is the longest dimension. In most places though I don't know that it is super critical. Even with the boxes in a north south orientation the trellised plants could go on the east side to block the morning sun until around 11am-noon or the west side to block the weaker evening sunlight after 5-6pm. Either way the rest of the plants should still get 8 or more hours of sun per day. Should work fine for most crops. Still, the east west orientation allows all day sun to everything....See MoreZalco/bring back Sophie!
