First Seeds of 2012 Planted

It was quite an eventful weekend in the Bumble Lush garden. Saturday was beautiful, sunny, but extremely windy. And around mid-morning, we got about 1 minute of big, fat snow flurries in some kind of bizarre flash snow storm. It didn't stick or anything. Just further proof that this is one of the weirdest winters on record.

Sunday was gorgeous--blue skies, sunny and warm, and I decided it was a perfect day to start some lettuce and spinach in containers. (This weekend happens to coincide with recommended moon date planting. I wonder if it makes a difference in containers? Probably not.)

I couldn't help myself--I also bought some broccoli transplants. I was at the garden center yesterday getting peat moss and looking at seed packets, and I saw a few broccoli transplants for sale. Despite the fact that I have tons of broccoli seeds that I need to use, I just had to buy these little broccoli plants and put them in containers as soon as I got home.


Did you do any garden work over the weekend?
