Sprouting



The green peppers have finally sprouted and out in the garden, the chard and lettuce seedlings are popping up. This weekend we will transplant the lettuce and chard started indoors to compare.

Our spare-room seedlings were starting to look leggy so I took some advice I found online and rigged up some "reflectors" out of foil. Pretty funky looking and JP is not a fan of having to move seedlings PLUS wacky foil-dealies every time he needs to iron his pants but.... eh.... they'll be in the garden soon.

Jonquils and mini-daffodils are blooming in the side and front gardens. I just found the pale-purple coneflowers that I planted bare-root last fall starting to peak above the ground. Yay! Spring is really here.
