Spinach and plant hardiness zones.

I can finally say for sure that the small seedlings on the spinach patch are indeed spinach. Characteristic curled up true leaves in the center! There are around 15 of these little ones on the patch, but most are close to where the peas are. But I am going to leave them where they are lest I stress them out by moving them around. It will be nice to get a couple of harvests before they start to bolt. 

Plants at home got new pots today so they can grow more comfortably. Two of the super sweet tomatoes sprouted two days back. They have joined the two tiniest pepper plants on the window sill. 


While snooping around trying to increase my general gardening knowledge, I came upon this great resource:
This map tells you what plant hardiness zone your area (in the US) falls in. Knowing the zone can be a great help to plan one's gardening schedule! And the almanac provides lots of useful information about plants suited for one's zone etc.
