Garden Questions


Crocuses. The most beautiful thing in the garden.

I have many garden related things on my mind.

1. Is it too early to plant seeds outdoors?
I had a discussion with a more experienced gardener in my community garden and she thought it was not too early.

2. What does "days to maturation" on the seed packet mean?
I e-mailed the UofMN Extension and the "Master Gardener" replied that it means days from time of transplant.

3. What grows in a greenhouse?
The Master Gardener thought:
-In the summer: cucumber, gourd, cantaloupe (muskmelon), squash, pumpkin, watermelon, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.
-In the cool seasons: Onions, turnips, cabbage, radishes, broccoli, leafy greens, cauliflower, spinach, and lettuce.
