Finally, the last of my seed orders arrived today! While my seed orders from all over Canada arrived several weeks ago, I have been patiently waiting for my American seeds, and now I can finish the last of my milk jug cold frames. This is something new that I am trying this year and, fingers crossed, I have at least 30% success. Last year, I cleared out all of my living room furniture to start my annuals and perennials (about 500) under a rotating schedule of grow lights. While I loved having an exceptionally green living room in the trailing months of winter, it was a little hectic at times and my house became so humid that I often thought that my walls were weeping. Hopefully, this year will be a little drier (inside and out) and my little milk jug experiment will pay off. I have 15 jugs so far, but hope that I can have 30 before spring finally hits. While I feel like I have abandoned my seeds to the elements this year, if nothing else, it has afforded me the opportunity to play in the dirt again!!
Check out this tutorial for a cheap and easy way to grow & harden off your perennials.
