Spring?

The Plan Tomorrow is to start seeds:

Lettuces
Tomatoes (5 varieties!)
Peppers
Peas

I have good news in the overwintered portion of my garden....I can count 8 sets of garlic greens poking out of the two boxes. I am pretty sure I only planted 8, so if I get all of them that will be awesome.

I have been fighting aphids with my mints all winter. I think we're stalemated at the moment--I've been spritzing these little buggers with soap spray, but I can't say the results are great. What I did 2 weeks ago was really cut back my chocolate and pepper mints since these were the worse affected--they both had new growth in the pots, so I figured they would come back OK. As I did this, I found there was a second plant growing in the peppermint pot...and it looked an AWFUL lot like my late lamented Kentucky Colonel Mint (which makes a screaming awesome mojito) I picked a leaf and crumpled it...and its Kentucky Colonel Mint. Hooray. I was wondering if I'd need to order another one, but apparently not--this looks very healthy and will just want its own pot in the spring.

My strawberry plant has been chugging along aphid free all winter. This morning it has a FLOWER onit and it is trying to grow a berry. It seems to be spring in my sunroom at least.
