I have a few questions for you before I post about your work with the prison and your blog. Hopefully you'll see this comment- you can find my email both on my profile and at the top of my blog- just look for the little blue envelope :). Happy spring to you and I wish all the best for your prison garden!Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357951823874888877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683942169651110182.post-62746112565160397582009-03-25T16:12:00.000-07:002009-03-25T16:12:00.000-07:00Hi Tessa,Thanks for your kind comment on my blog o...Hi Tessa,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your kind comment on my blog on www.lettucegrow.org. We are also mad gardeners, and are really excited about our project to establish an organic veggie garden in Coffee Creek prison for women in Wilsonville. I'll post a link to your great blog on our site, what great a Oregon gardening vibe!Sarah VRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00472514805167660037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683942169651110182.post-71807060274081679462009-03-24T08:38:00.001-07:002009-03-24T08:38:00.001-07:00Gardeness- Yes, it was beautiful! Someday I really...Gardeness- Yes, it was beautiful! Someday I really need to plant one! You're right, the broccoli is too close- SFG says you can grow them 1/sq.ft., but the one time I grew them they got huge!- they will have to be thinned out. Sometimes I wish I'd never gone with the SFG as I know more watering is needed- or at least that's been my experience. I'll harvest the first big head and not wait for the side shoots. This was a test early crop anyway. I think I was off by about 2 weeks. I have more coming that will go elsewhere! Happy spring to you :)<BR/><BR/>Lynn- Thanks! I hope your spring is going well :) I can't wait to see your Hellebore open up!

I didn't realize spring hit earlier in Medford. It's nice to get a preview of what's headed our way. It'll be here any time now. Good luck to your tomatoes and all the rest. You're set to have quite the crop this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683942169651110182.post-24623623992891497922009-03-24T04:30:00.000-07:002009-03-24T04:30:00.000-07:00Hi Tessa, I love all those pink blooms...really be...Hi Tessa, I love all those pink blooms...really beautiful!

Will you transplant that broccoli? I grew some last season and it got so big I was wondering how close you can plant them? I'm hoping to do some direct seeding under the cloche tomorrow.

Me too, I've always wanted a Tulip tree.<BR/><BR/>Randy- Thanks! Maybe some day you'll have a place for one- never stop dreaming!<BR/><BR/>Grace- I don't notice blooms in Albany! Good! I'm glad spring has finally decided to show up :)<BR/><BR/>RainGardener- I just love you blog name, it's right up my alley! Happy spring to you :)<BR/><BR/>Daphne- Yeah, I think it's a good thing you can't see them up close- but I'll be posting more on that soon as I've discovered something good today!<BR/><BR/>Kathleen- Now if I had only had a great camera like you have, those pics would have been terrific! I love visiting to see your shots! <BR/><BR/>Catherine- Yeah, it was a good visit. It's about 5 hrs to Medford- depending on who is driving ;) Your funny! Buying broccoli when you've run out of room isn't cheating, just like buying tomatoes when you've killed yours isn't cheating (just in case I thought I'd better set myself up for that :)<BR/><BR/>Sue- I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm glad your little seedling "babies" were okay in your absence.
