The Great Greenhouse Experiment
More things are sprouting! Even though we have a heater in the greenhouse, everything is still sprouting better with my high-tech seedling insulating system:
(a.k.a. "grocery bags.") I have some spring greens and broccoli sprouting here:
we have spinach sprouting everywhere, and our little rose is surviving:
Technically, it probably would have survived being put outside, but I didn't take the time to harden it off, and thought the shock of moving outside after being a houseplant most of its life might kill it. Not that I don't stand a good chance of doing that anyway, but this gives it a fighting chance.

I worked in a greenhouse one Summer and had a blast. There was something calming about working with plants, compared to working with people and I truly miss that aspect of it.
