More Primroses

My Latest Bargain Aquisition...
Notice the snow - we had several inches of snow and some ice on top of that today. Please ignore the mini rose bush...I had it sitting out there and forgot to bring it in. Maybe it will be ok?

I am using the arched shaped trellis' for my luffa and the fan shaped for tomatoes and wax beans.
The reason I got them so cheap is that they were damaged. The damage is mainly on the finials - some are missing on the tops. Big deal...they will be covered anyway and even if they aren't, it will just add more charm to the garden.
I can't wait until the ground is thawed to place these babies in the ground.

Indoor Garden Updates
New plant! The greenhouse where I work, had some cute and very aromatic flowers for sale. I loved these fairy primroses or Primula Malacoides. Here is some information about these plants.

Where I Purchased My Portable Greenhouse
I have had many questions on where I purchased my portable greenhouse. I got it at the garden center where I work. If you don't live in the Lancaster County area of Pennsylvania, that isn't gonna do you any good.
You can google Portable greenhouses and then click images (which I just did) and I see many of them at different places on the web. You may even try visiting your local garden center and see if they have any or can get one for you??
I only paid $39.99 for mine. It is well worth the investment as I can use it over and over again or even year round. I will take it outdoors in the spring and bring it back in over the winter to keep some of my tender plants until they can go back out the following spring.

Update on My Seedlings
I promise not to bore you to much with my seedlings the next 4 months, so I will wait until I transplant these guys into bigger pots to post again about them. Maybe.....

A New Home For the Greenhouse
Check out the Luffa seeds on the left! Here they were just yesterday! The herbs also shot up as well. I better hurry and collect more pots for transplanting next month. I am so excited to create the herb baskets and planters.

Seedlings
I am asking hubby to hook up a light inside the greenhouse for all these new little friends to help with growth. When I move the greenhouse in front of the window here shortly ( I still need to take down my Christmas tree that is in that spot) I should have enough natural light and not need the grow light as much?
I know this is early to get seedlings started, but I am comfortable with the herbs starting now, as I want some fresh herbs for in the house and as far as the luffa, I want them to be nice and big when I plant them in the ground in early spring. (After fear of frost) The luffas are an experiment and I will see how this works. If it looks like in a couple months they are just too leggy in pots, I can plant more seeds since I have more. I am just concerned that the luffa has a long growing time before harvesting, and I want to see if this will work starting early inside to extend my time. (If that makes any sense)
