And it would be a nice reflection of your former geologically-inclined self. But then again, you can't eat rocks so I s'pose that isn't the best idea if you're aiming for edibles...Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063010277707341094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620646226349339372.post-13645271962910550692007-02-20T09:07:00.000-08:002007-02-20T09:07:00.000-08:00Wow - educational and poetic.

Not often one hits that combination with the winter gardening obsessed. <BR/><BR/>I was wondering if you ever listen to Ed Lawrence on CBC radio's All In A Day (noon-2pm on Mondays). I've never heard him comment on over-wintering aspects of gardening, and living here in Ottawa, we could really use more advise!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620646226349339372.post-4492497677652600382007-02-18T05:33:00.000-08:002007-02-18T05:33:00.000-08:00It's really nice to see a post about using a coldf...It's really nice to see a post about using a coldframe, I don't remember seeing this in a blog before. Honestly, until the last year or so I've never really been clear on the concept, and not many people around here seem to use them. It seems like it would help a lot when it comes to hardening off seedlings in the spring.<BR/><BR/>The biggest problem I have is near hurricane force winds in the winter, so I would need to build something very strong. Maybe I will give it a try this coming year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
