Nearly time!

Its been so cold and dreary, and I've been away...but this weekend the fun starts!

I'm starting seeds this weekend...baby tomatoes and peppers, watermelons, squashes, a few other things. I made a schedule weeks ago, I just need to go flip through it.

Still need to build boxes,and I need to start researching when my farmer's markets open for the year...

Winter's here!

Well, there has just not been much to comment on lately--its all just waiting for things to start. I see I have picked up a few more subscribers and I seem to be getting a lot of hits lately, so I thought I needed to find something to write about.

I plan on starting seeds in about 3 weeks, so there will be something to fuss about soon. And I need to build some more planters. The indoor plants are all OK and waiting for warm days. The days are getting longer too....

Today, I got out of the shower late in the afternoon and noticed the light outside was odd--I thought fog had come in (HOW?) but really it was snow and blowing winds turning everything misty and weird. Its the first blip of snow here this year. I have not peeped in on my garlic lately since its been kinda warm and I felt it was probably fine. I did not go out and flip up the leaves today either because when I looked out the window I could see long green spears poking up from the garlic boxes.

SQUEE!

Here is hoping that the real snow comes and covers and insulates and I don't lose that garlic to a hard freeze without any cover!
