The Nursery is Filling Up


                                               Announcing New Arrivals

                  Date:  February 20, 2016

                  Baby Packman and Atlantic Broccoli

                  Baby Early Round Dutch and Bravo Cabbages

                  Weight:   Scant gram

                   Height:   Scant inch

                   Proud Parent: JoDee


Here they are, enjoying a brief outing in the afternoon sunshine. They sunburn easily, so spend most of their days under the florescent lights. Gradually they will be able to be outside all day. Nights are still below freezing.






There are lots of broccoli starts. some for me and some for Is and Lis. However, it's a little skimpy on the cabbages, only eight. Next, I'll sow some from a Pinetree packet of  mixed cabbage types. It will be fun to see what they grow up to be.

These little guys are soon to be joined by lots of flowers, which are on the neonatal shelf, with bottom heat. Some of them are too tiny to photograph and some haven't even sprouted yet.  I await them expectantly. They require lots of babying but don't cry in the night.
