We don't normally have snow on the ground long enough or late enough to try the snow-planting method (though this year was an exception) so I just sow in the ground. This year, only about 4 row feet out of 100 planted actually came up. Not being Catholic, I'm looking for some outside force to blame. I've decided on the exceptionally warm spring weather. Spinach never stood a chance.<br /><br />BTW, I have posted a couple of photos of the new arrivals on my blog. :-)<br /><br />JoyaJoya Parsonshttp://rossakatum.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-53310387011796968892010-04-03T08:38:23.541-04:002010-04-03T08:38:23.541-04:00I know it is in part because I have never gardened...I know it is in part because I have never gardened, but I can never wrap my head around how people have TIME to garden!Indigo Buntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11387698096732697805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-15289002490024564042010-04-02T21:34:36.413-04:002010-04-02T21:34:36.413-04:00This is a heart-wrenching story and on Good Friday...This is a heart-wrenching story and on Good Friday no less.

Did you that there is a Jewish tradition know as "first fruits" wherein you give away the first fruits of your garden (or I suppose in the old days your harvest) Now I know where my first spinach will go...Elizabethhttp://www.elizabethtorak.comnoreply@blogger.com
