Won't be just dedicated to the bee keeping but I will be documenting my progress with the bees. Here is the link http://lostinfieldsandwoods.wordpress.com/
This morning we have a nice 2 inch blanket of snow and a howling wind! I am waving at my violas and daffodils from my kitchen window. They might pull through. The pear trees in the area are in full bloom. My apricot and peach are just beginning to bloom. Probably going to kiss my peaches and apricots goodbye, again this year. Kansas. --s6
Two inches of ice and snow, and four nights below freezing. My poor garden...
Anyone grown Brussels sprouts before? I've got two seedlings going.
Hop-- My mom used to cook them until they were squishy. She used them in a horrible Shepherds Pie that still makes me shudder but my sibs remember fondly. The sets are better than the seed and they don't mind the cold. I like them in rice. If you are doing B. sprouts why not try peas too? So very cold this morning but NO SNOW. --s6
But you can do nasturtiums, which are hard here because it gets so hot, and maybe scarlet runner beans--pretty red flowers and beans! They are pretty, tucked between rows of vegetables. So are snapdragons. They do well in the cold and come in lots of colors and heights. I have seen sweet peas grown on bean poles. Won't work here--100+ by June. Here in Kansas zinnias and marigolds fill in between vegetable rows. Sunflowers too, but they are invasive--s6
