Could Spring Be Far Off?

It seems as if we may have an early spring this year. I can't even remember the last time it snowed! We're enjoying more daylight during our walks at the end of the day.

I was surprised to see some of my newly sewn cherry tomato seeds already sprouting within a few days.

I decided it was a good time to start more seedlings for my vegetable garden.

This year I'm using popsicle sticks for markers, so I'll know what will be sprouting.

My friend Diane gave me this idea. Plus, this year, I know better than to rely on my memory. Last year I thought my cilantro was parsley up until it finally went to seed. And I thought my peas were cantalope. Not to mention I totally forgot to plant some rosemary.


This year I decided to include a cutting flower section in my garden.

Right now I'm imaging the luxury of having bouquets of fresh flowers that I can bring indoors all summer long. I sure hope we don't get more snow.
