Jolene Little left a comment for Barb Brewington"Hi Barb! When the first two Morning Glories got some leaves and I noticed the other eight hadn't sprouted yet, I bought a grow light for them. They are nice and warm now. I double-checked the "days to germination", which is 10-14…"
Barb Brewington commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 4"My Iris' shot up a good 6 inches over night. Seedlings are all doing well in the greenhouse. I way overplant my seeds, thinking they won't all come up, then they do. I'll have to go to the farmers market to see if anyone is interested…"
Barb Brewington left a comment for Jolene Little"Hi Jolene, give your morning glories a little more time. They need a lot of warmth to germinate. Do you have a heated mat to put under them? I would give them a couple of more weeks."

Search for moonlight globe light"
Barb Brewington commented on Jean Fox's group Minnesota Gardners"Oh man, what a beautiful day. Happy Easter to all. I'm cleaning out gardens today. We did most of it last fall, but I just have to be outside today!"
Barb Brewington commented on Jean Fox's group Minnesota Gardners"Jolene, how far away do you have the morning glories from the light? If it is too far away, they will get leggy and tip over. Make sure the light is about an inch above the soil or the plant - once it germinates. Also, once they germinate, you might…"
Barb Brewington commented on Jean Fox's group Minnesota Gardners"Yes, starting the lettuce under grow lights works very well. I have a green house tho, and as soon as they germinate, I move them to the greenhouse. We have beautiful lettuce in May. I always start them early, so I can add some to my flower boxes on…"
Barb Brewington replied to Alice Campbell's discussion Minnesota? in the group Minnesota Gardners"I had the same problem, so I bought the cutest antique childs bath-tub (looks like a real tub, but it's for a child) and it sits on a wrought iron stand about 30 inches above ground. It has a drain in it. I fill up the bottom with pop cans for…"

Rose Wallace commented on Barb Brewington's blog post Jumping The Gun"I feel the same way! This weekend it is supposed to get to 78 degrees (in NE Ohio!) and I am itching to get something planted. Will have to content myself with getting garden ready and maybe planting a few more seedlings."
Barb Brewington commented on Jean Fox's group Minnesota Gardners"I live in SE Minnesota and planted all my seeds last weekend. Broccolli, Cauliflower, Lettuce, Kohlrabi, cabbage, tomato's, pepper's, zinnia's, coleus, morning glories, moon flowers and I'm sure I am forgetting some of them. I…"
Barb Brewington posted a blog postJumping The Gun
I know I'm jumping the gun, but just had to put out the porch furniture today. It's going to be 70 degrees this week in souithern Minnesota. Our greenhouse is full of hundreds of seedlings and I just can't wait to start planting. I know it's too early, but I am enjoying all that green in the greenhouse.

- Hi Barb! When the first two Morning Glories got some leaves and I noticed the other eight hadn't sprouted yet, I bought a grow light for them. They are nice and warm now. I double-checked the "days to germination", which is 10-14 days, and I am at the 14-day mark as of Monday. I will give them some extra time. Thanks again for your help!

Yucka
"Joan, I researched this for ya. Yucca like to be planted in sandy or rocky soil and like full sun. Do not over or under water them. Yucca are very hardy and pretty well take care of themselves. Just cut of the dead leaves in the Spring...…"
Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Garden-Share's group Flower Gardens"Just for fun, here's a cosmos pic (C. sulphureus) and a Harrisia cactus, both blooming in the garden. Talk about a sweet-and-salty combination: a fluffy self sowing annual, and a durable low-water tropical cactus. Still, they…"
Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Garden-Share's group Arizona"Good morning everyone! Plenty to do in the garden today but I thought I'd just pop in and share these Harrisia blooms in the garden. This plant blooms off and on all summer long. It has four blooms this morning and…"
Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Garden-Share's group Cactus & Succulents"Thanks everyone, keep your pics and comments coming too. This morning I awoke (early!) to these very pretty, large, blooms on my Harrisia cactus. The plant blooms off and on all summer long. This morning it had four flowers. …"
