Re: Fifth Year SFG in Canada
I began my 2019 indoor vegetable sowing today with two containers of Leeks. Looking forward to delicious Potato Leek soup at the end of summer.

Re: Fifth Year SFG in Canada
Your description of making Leek soup last year (?) sounded so delicious. Which are the 2 freebies?

Re: Fifth Year SFG in Canada
I just have them in the living room right now.sanderson wrote:Are they under lights? What else have you sown.
This week I sowed Bunching Onions and Walla Walla Onions. I have them on the heat mat. I may try Winter Sowing (outside containers) onions and leeks as an experiment.

WAAA! I wanna grow Walla Walla's but our days aren't long enough.
Re: Fifth Year SFG in Canada
Mrs TD and I have been very busy but I managed to squeeze a tiny bit of Winter sowing of Leeks, Onions (Walla Walla) and Annual Bunching Onions using 4 litre ice cream containers. The containers are now outside in the snow.
We got a good amount of heavy, wet snow earlier today and now it is raining. Hopefully, this morning's snow storm was the last for this winter. Temperatures are forecast to improve from here on. I think this has been the worst winter for snow, freezing rain, ice and wind that I can remember since we moved to Ottawa 32 years ago. It's also been a long one beginning with a storm in November and no appreciable thawing all winter long.

I am hoping I can keep them in good shape until planting time which looks to be a long way off right now.bluelacedredhead wrote:Seed potatoes are out already? Wow. Happy planting.

Like, who has ever gone to the nursery department for one item and left with just that one item?

Re: Fifth Year SFG in Canada
Did some seed sowing today.
Indoors in the heat mat:
- California Wonder Pepper
- Mini Bell Mix Pepper
- Poblano Pepper
- Banana Pepper
- Jalapeño Pepper
- Walla Walla Onion (probably too late)
Also did some more Winter Sowing. Currently have a total of 21 containers outside with mostly flower seeds and a few veggies.
