m e o e sn i7 *vvâ€"â€"â€"m Oc tm‘ ies e hi ts 1 o0 t 1 dn i. . t wb t it c ns Have you sewn you seeds yet? Now‘s the time he weather break is one way to foreâ€" I tell the coming of spring. It occurs shortly before the lack of space in the basement and green house becomes apparâ€" ent as the seeds germinate and need room to grow. Last week, I sowed 30 Geranium seeds from Thompson and Morgan‘s World‘s Top Mix Collection. These require a temperature of 70°F to germinate which takes 3â€"21 days depending on the temperaâ€" ture fluctuations. I sowed the seeds in vermiculite in recyâ€" cled polystyrene cups. The cups were watered and the vermiculite allowed to drain through the hole in the bottom of the cup. The surface was roughened with the tip of a pencil, the seeds sown and pressed in lightly with a finger. The cup was put in a plastic sandwich bag and the end zipped up. Six cups of five seeds of different varieties were placed in a clear plastic cake containâ€" er. This in turn was put in a cardboard box which went on top of the heating duct in the basement. Pieces of cardboard were placed between the beams at each side of the duct. This was all done to reduce the temperature variations when the furnace cycled off and on. After four days, one cup had four seeds growing and two others had one each. Meanwhile, peony seeds were sprouting in § ASIMKINS the refrigerator and being transplanted into a cedar bark mulch in four pack plastic conâ€" tainers and placed in the greenhouse. Out in the garden, the yucca and varieâ€" gated euonymus are bright spots in the snow. The rhododendrons look sad with their folded leaves; the foliage on the mahoâ€" nia looks dark green and has not burned so far. I may cover them with a landscape cloth over four poles to keep them from the wind and sun during March. My male holly has badly frozen leaves which are blackening and most likely will fall off. If I am lucky, the tree may be alive and grow some new leaves. Otherwise, I will have to replace it so that the two blue holly will be pollinated to produce their red berries. The male was an experimental plant, but has been there for several years. The two commercial hollies still have shiny bright leaves.

Shasta daisy, aquilegia, carnation, delphinium, gazania, impatiens, lobellia, lupins, pansy, petunia, primula, snapdragon, and tomatoes are some of the slow growers. If you are starting seeds, look for some lumber to build a cold frame. Make it to fit any old window you have or one you pick up at the wreckers. As a last resort, make a sash from one by two lumber with plastic sheeting wrapped and stapled around it. I like the frame 18 inches high at the back, sloping to 12 inches at the front and threeâ€"feet wide. A site against a south wall of the house is ideal, but a west wall locaâ€" tion is fine if there is protection from the prevailing N.W. winds.
