Winter Gardening

P1010519Sami found some coupons online for 10$ worth of free plants from Lowes. So we each went, twice.

We got three different grapevines, a gooseberry, a black currant and a red currant. (Yes, we already have a big old grapevine and some currants, but they did so well last year, we thought we'd plant more)

I also moved the sage and rosemary to the area near the heat pump because they've gotten so big they've crowded out the other herbs.

P1010524Indoors, I started several different kinds of lettuce and spinach in plastic trays. (Lettuce and Spinach grow basically year round here. We were just too busy to plant any last fall)

I also started a couple peas and beans and some different types of flowers that should attract butterflies and (more) hummingbirds. Some of the flower seeds were really old and may not grow, but I figured if they don't, it's still early enough to plant more.

Hopefully the seeds will do well. The should since they're near the heat vent and the french doors in the dining room.
