My "Accidental Forcing" bulbs are thriving in my kitchen window. They seem to be quite happy which makes me quite happy. In other parts of the house I have set-up my greenhouse (hopefully in a better position than the "stock" photo from yesterday's post.) I have placed the greenhouse in front of my sliding glass door which gets the most light and sun of any room in the house. It's also a placement which should ensure pretty consistant temperatures.
Yesterday, I excitedly said that it was time to start pepper plants. However, I was mistaken. After checking my Storey's Basic Country Guide and speaking to a local farmer (he's a Farmer's Market favorite) I learned that I needed to wait at least until Mid-April. So, before rising from bed this morning I told my husband that although it may be too early for vegetables. It's never too early for annuals. I think he rolled his eyes at me. But how can I get a new greenhouse and not immediately start some seeds? It just seems wrong not to! So today I turn my attention to deciding what kind of annuals I'd like to decorate my front porch with this year. Suggestions are welcome as always.

I am still so jealous of your greenhouse .. and YES ! .. it would be JUST WRONG not to get something going there .. annuals, my heavens ! there are so many to pick from .. how the heck are you going to keep it in check ?
I have no idea .. that is why your hubby rolled his eyes .. we both know you are going to go over the top ! LOL .. how about some marigolds ? portulacus(spelling) lobelia ?.. I have to stop now .. groan !
LOL ! Joy : )
Wah, me too, I'm jealous of your greenhouse! Just yesterday I saw an advertisement for one locally that's on sale but I have no place here that gets enough light. Does the greenhouse come with a lighting attachment?
I approve of the new location;) How about a few sunflowers? Hollyhocks? Alyssum? Impatients? Vinca? or my favorite--Cleome!
I was here today--where were you? lol
Hi CJ - I love your blog! I'm going to have to come back when I have more time and wander through more of it. Thanks for finding me thru Blotanical!!
I love your new greenhouse - what a perfect gift for a gardener. I'm so ready for spring - maybe a gro-lite and some seeds would help me make it through the next couple months! :) Your forced bulbs look VERY happy!!
Are you busy with that Greenhouse? I was here again today!! Sending lots of sunshine your way.
