Lots of NS Days

April 2nd, 2020 at 05:38 pm

There will be lots of NS days ahead, I think.
And more soup making on today's agenda. I've got another wild rice soup that I'll throw in the Instant Pot today.

Lots of questions and a few postings from students, but online education is slow.

DD and I had a lovely walk yesterday and hope for another today in the sunshine. Other outdoor activities may include garden prep. I can't seem to get a definitive answer about whether it's too early to plant spinach outside. But I have a lot of seeds so may attempt an early crop.

I'm worried about a work colleague, actually my "work husband." He's the sweetest guy in the world, but lives alone, struggles with depression, and is morbidly obese. I brought him chili last week and will go by tomorrow with some soup and fresh food. He has lots of health challenges, so if you have room on your prayer list, please fold him in. I would be broken hearted without him.

    Prayers for your friend and colleague. Are you able to talk to him daily? FaceTime?

    It depends what zone you are in. Spinach is cold weather, but it does need to be warmer to germinate. Where I am, seedlings planted now under a cloche or in a cold frame would survive unless you get a hard frost, but seeds wouldn't germinate outside. I'm in zone 7b and we don't usually plant anything other than strawberry crowns before mid-April. You can start your seeds indoors and set out seedlings when it gets a bit warmer. I would put two to three spinach seeds in a 4 inch pot and transplant when they seedlings are as tall as the pot is high. You can do as many pots as you think you might need. There are lots of planting guides according to zone online. You should be able to find one easily for your zone.
