There are a few live young leaves, but the rest have turned to slime. Parsley still looks edible though.HomeBugGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845748276844681280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024382604105375596.post-11091947114823154952009-10-15T11:05:05.566-06:002009-10-15T11:05:05.566-06:00Hi Dave,

If the ground does not thaw sufficiently, move them to the (unheated?)garage after 4 weeks and then plant them out in the spring.<br /><br />I know, you probably ordered hundreds of bulbs - I've got stacks of extra pots if you need them.<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024382604105375596.post-4768903314825963182009-10-13T06:49:22.257-06:002009-10-13T06:49:22.257-06:00Hi Ted,

Made it up to -1, very briefly, though, so I guess that is progress and today, although more snow if predicted, so is 0. Could be above freezing by the end of the week.<br /><br />Hi Garden Ms S:<br /><br />I wonder if the chard will recover enough for a weekend meal and if the ground will thaw enough by the weekend so that I don't need to use a pickaxe to plant the Dutch bulbs, assuming they arrive? Isn't gardening in Edmonton fun!HomeBugGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845748276844681280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024382604105375596.post-31753612364233956662009-10-12T21:05:36.271-06:002009-10-12T21:05:36.271-06:00If it's any consolation, your chard looks very...If it's any consolation, your chard looks very festive :)<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving.Northern Beauty Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805215769692200647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024382604105375596.post-40516617187221601562009-10-12T20:42:34.903-06:002009-10-12T20:42:34.903-06:005 consecutive days below zero?!
