But we are really limited on space at our new place so maybe I'm going to have to give it another try.

I guess it's safe to put plants in the greenhouse now, but Wednesday night it's supposed to get really cold. You might want to check your local weather and make sure everything will be alright in there. Thanks for sharing! Have a nice day!

I'm not sure the seeds I started (a week late too) will be plantable in three weeks. The ground might still be frozen unless we get some good weather. Tomorrow looks promising at least even if snow is in the forecast.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.com
