I'm always glad to meet another gardener in Ontario too .. it is a BIG province with more than a few different grow zones : )<br />I am going to have a look at your blog and the info with the sprouter ..

Cats are so entertaining. I've been sprouting for many years and have used the Boista sprouter in the past. You may like to check out my January 2010 newsletter on the Plant Paradise website which gives some benefits and helpful hints on successful sprouting. The food grade hydrogen peroxide I mention in the article is particularly helpful when using the Biosta sprouter. It is great to find a blogger/gardener who is also from Ontario.Lorrainehttp://www.plantparadise.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-1792040005604228402010-02-25T06:53:09.890-05:002010-02-25T06:53:09.890-05:00Elly girl I have been buying the micro greens and ...Elly girl I have been buying the micro greens and they are amazing ! But I have "pondered" this method and finally made up my mind about it and wow .. third morning (right now 25th) and they are SPROUTING !! I will take pictures later and show you : )<br />Shiloh : ) funny girl I bet all of that action is just too fun to watch .. how dare they step out of line and touch your queendom ?

I too have radish seeds and a general sprout mix and sprouter---not nearly as gorgeous or fluorescent as yours, alas---and have I been using it? Noooo... Shame on me! "Microgreens," as sprouts are now called by the pretentious, are ever so full of good-for-you nutrients. We should all be eating them, and hopefully you'll have given me just the kick in the rump that was needed to get out my seeds and sprouter and get going! Love the cat participation. At our house, only Shiloh cares about folks dropping off boxes (though her favorites are the big trucks that pick up garbage and recycling and deliver water and fuel oil).

Oh yes .. boxes mean tons ...Hey there Skeeter girl <br />Oh yes .. boxes mean tons of fun for the girls and it gives me a break from saying "STOP that !!"<br />Yes you are right .. sleeping is what the garden is doing .. snoring at times but when that good weather hits .. I hope I have that burst of energy to start the mad dash it will need ;-)<br />John has a Pothos ? vine to care for .. but yup .. he went mad hatter on the grape dine .. I just hope it will come back "gang-buster" style and fill in .. I so want to block out the neighbor behind the fence (annoying as hell on the phone .. who wants to hear her conversations ????) Yup ! when I find something that I even suspect another shopper might snag from me .. I hug it and drag it around the store .. that way I know it is MINE !! hehe<br />Skeeter girl .. I am on so many meds it is crazy but I swear I will GARDEN as ever ;-) !!!CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-62539711095613092842010-02-24T12:22:35.011-05:002010-02-24T12:22:35.011-05:00What excitement, two new boxes!

I agree it must be a conspiracy with the mail. The last thing we had on order was sitting at the front door one morning as the Saint left for work. Strange thing, we were home all day the day before and never heard a truck or anyone at the front of the house. I do think the mail fairies brought it during the night kind of like the tooth fairy!<br /><br />I don’t think your gardens look dead but rather sleeping. And I so trying to get over going out without make up on these days. I am taking baby steps with that one. <br /><br />Robins and geese this early. Wow, lets hope spring is going to come early but not looking so today. 70 on Sunday and now 40’s again. What gives?<br /><br />I think I have the same giant houseplant you have! Don’t know the name of it but thought it was interesting and I let the Saint pick it out. He must get some say with things around here but I would never let him cut my grapevine hee hee…<br /><br />I can see you dragging that iron birdbath around now, lol…. <br /><br />Glad you are feeling better and take care of your hormonal issues girl, a little pill is magic to me these days...Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-73489861478137111392010-02-24T06:35:03.821-05:002010-02-24T06:35:03.821-05:00Hey there Ms S ! ..

I held back on sprinkling too much seed on each level because I have no idea how much they fill in yet .. so the first try is an experiment but WOW ! so many different seeds to try our and this is amazing to grow your own still in the dead of winter ? LOL<br /><br />Kyna girl .. I am beginning to think that is the rule of thumb .. you have to be in another country to see our products .. I was just so sick of seeing so much "made in China" .. YES !! you have to get that t-shirt made girl ! My boys are wearing beautiful red and white hockey jerseys ..I didn't see the score of the hockey game last night but I don't think it was good ? ;-( Happy cats YES !<br /><br />Hi there again bloomnrs : ) Yup .. this is a cool project !! and to get to taste it and it is good for you ? WOW ! .. boxes and kitties go together : ) haha<br /><br />Jen girl .. whenever I get a chance to have a great cup of hot chocolate .. well I think life is grand too !! Hey did you get a copy of the new Canadian garden magazine ? I got mine today "Garden Making" ? not too bad : ) I have to actually read some of the articles now .. I just gave it a quick once over in between the sprout experiment.<br /><br />Lisa girl .. that is what I am thinking too .. they are keeping a close eye on what I am up to and how much of a "cut" they get in the crop ? LOL<br /><br />Nancy girl I do love Veseys : ) they are a great company and it feels a little like getting a "home made" parcel : ) I will be updating how it all comes together so you can keep a handle on that sprout envy girl ! LOL<br /><br />Cindee girl ! You have to get back on the "sprout train" !! I am hoping for some extra energy ? and a better green escape and consumption for working up to "GARDEN MODE" !!! LOL<br /><br />Rebecca girl .. if only you could hear the gruff snide comments from the boys about the weather .. sometimes I have to tell them to "keep it down out there !!"<br />Sprout party at my place with the girls as entertainment : ) They love the spot light !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-60586915102517443102010-02-23T23:27:30.421-05:002010-02-23T23:27:30.421-05:00Great sprouter!!
