Not quite spring
Posted on | March 26, 2008 | 7 Comments
Spring is going to ramp up pretty quickly around here, I think. We sorted through the tomato, pepper and eggplant seeds last night after dinner and plan to get them started sometime this week. But the Fava Beans, Lima Beans and Peas haven’t made it into the ground just yet, because we got more snow.
The winter sowing containers needed the extra nights of cold, though, so I’m just going to look at it as a gift, as I know they do.
I have some very slow starts in the basement, but finally, after over two weeks, the leeks, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and red celery are coming up. I need to buy a timer for the power strip because I’ve forgotten to switch the lights off several times already. I think I’ll make a trip out at lunchtime to get that and a pump sprayer.
I’m thinking I should order my topsoil in the next couple of weeks.

Last year's fingerless gloves are even softer this year. 4. Hot tea with local honey so soothing on this scratchy throat. 5. Flannel sheets fresh from the dryer for a bed […]

That is a beautiful morning photo. Winter is tossing a bit more snow at us here in Nova Scotia today, too. But the sun’s trying to peek through all that grey, so I hold that as a good sign it won’t amount to much.

Love your morning photo. The sun is out here but a week of rain is predicted. As much as I am ready for Spring, I am not ready for all the work that comes with it! Looks like you are!

Nancy, here’s hoping the sun wins.
Nova Scotia! Sigh. I have always wanted to visit there. One day…

Kristen, I’m only just barely ready. But I’m very determined that this year I will stock my freezer and pantry. The food bill has been outrageous this winter. I just wish I had accomplished more of the inside tasks I had on my list this winter…I kept getting distracted with freelance work!
