Seed GROW Project September Update

My "spitfire" nasturtiums have really taken off.  Can you believe the size the of the leaves on them?  They are almost as big now, as the ones I saw in Alaska in late spring.  These are the ones that I started uses my water bottle cloches in early spring.  The ones I started once the threat of frost was gone this spring, are no where near this size.  Speaking of frost.....there was actually a frost watch out for upper Wisconsin this weekend.  We were "up-north" for the weekend, and one morning it was in the upper 30's.  Yes, welcome to Wisconsin.  Just this past week it was 90 and humid, we were running the air.  This weekend we were running the heat up at the cabin.

And yes....the earwigs are still eating the leaves on my plants.

I'm growing spitfire nasturtiums for the Seed Grow Project.

Thanks to Renee's Garden for the seeds!

Pictures from our trip to Rich's Foxwillow Pines Nursery

Today we visited Rich's Foxwillow Pines Nursery in Woodstock, IL. Here are some pictures from our trip.  Everyone at Rich's was so nice.  They were very gracious, and Rich even took us on a tour of his whole nursery and fed us pizza.   I also took some video which will be featured on a later episode of Cheesehead Gardening.  I found out today that Rich's was featured on the PBS show Victory Garden.  Here is a link to that show.
