After getting my new knee, I’m starting to be up more and more, a little at a time. I do my exercises, work out on the knee flexing machine that came home with me on loan from the hospital and try to walk about with the walker as much as possible. I’m even walking short distances without it, so that’s an improvement. Yes, I am very careful! I still have pain as Tylenol does nothing for me and because I’ve had a bleeding ulcer, requiring repair, I can’t take aspirin or other NSAIDS. But, with ice, it’s slowly getting better. I’m waiting impatiently for improvement as my first seed starting will come in about two weeks. I bought some cool cherry-flavored Petunia seed<\/a> from Baker Creek Heirloom seeds, which are not only cherry flavored but have huge blossoms. I couldn’t resist!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
It won’t be long before I’m starting our new petunias and onions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
We really love some onions we can’t buy sets for. I start them from seed, myself.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then, around the first of March, I’ll be starting my onions. Although I do plant sets, there are only a couple of options available for reasonable prices and we really love our Clear Dawn and Ailsa Craig giant onions. I start them so early as it takes about three months before the tiny plants gain enough size to stand the stress of transplanting out into the garden well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
And it won’t be all that long before we see this in the gardens!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just a note, some folks are having a hard time finding ProMix seed starting medium or if they find it, it is very high priced. So, you might check it out now to get it while you can, for, perhaps, last-year’s pricing. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
