green gardens
we finished building our eight foot boxes for our small garden yesterday. now the fun part, choosing seeds. i know no matter what we have to have peas. there is nothing like shelling fresh peas from the pod. when i was little i would sit in my parents garden and eat all the peas. they never made it into the house.
have a peek at sew green today, it's my first post! let me know what you think. happy monday to everyone, i'll be in search of some sunny skies today.

it really is time to start pondering retirement
hi cindy.
i thoroughly enjoyed your first post on sew green. great links and resources. we are thinking of building a straw bale or cob house in the near future.
as for the gardens, i'm with you on planting peas. we picked up several packets of seeds this weekend: spinach, cherry tomatoes, carrots, radishes, lettuce, and peas, of course.

Congrats on your boxes, sympathy on the stomach flu you are attending to.
I read your lovely sew green post last night and went to sleep with that lichen and green (ikea?) cushion in my mind, very soothing.
RE. seeds, I used to do various lettuces, sewing new seeds every 2 weeks with reasonable success but they did seem to go limp to easily in hot sun or cold wind.
Then I tried chinese greens/lettuces etc. and they were brilliant, much less reactive to temperature change and wind and OH SO TASTY (and pretty).
My fave was the Mizuna, it grew really well and tasted wonderful. And if you like a hot peppery taste the giant mustard was very successful too.
I'm glad someone from Vancouver is included on Sew Green! I wanted to let you know about Swap-o-rama-rama, which I will be organising here - it will be April 15 at the Heritage Hall. You can contact me at true_stitches AT yahoo DOT ca or check out our new website at swaporama.org.
