Do you have stained terra cotta pots?
Soak them in a solution of 9 parts warm water to 1 part chorine bleach. After a few minutes take them out and scrub off the residue with a wire brush. If you wish ,you can rinse and dry.
Happy Planting!

Beginning to Garden ….January Thoughts
January 3rd, 2009 · No Comments
The weather is spring-like here in Greensburg. There is a bit of a chill to the air but this is winter. Rather than just looking at seed catalogs, I am surveying my barren garden. I’m imagining what will be popping up in a few months. I would love to start today! I can see the garden and beds– NO SNOW!
I’m not certain if I can plant parsley this early; but I am going to try sprinkling some seeds to see if they will sprout. We’ll see in a few months.
I also plan to spread some leftover fertilizer on my beds. I didn’t get this out in the fall. with the snow melted I think I can spread some now and hope it will slowly dissolve before spring.
if you are looking for Seed Catalogs Here is a list from GreenLizzy.com
