For the past month or so, we've been tending seedlings, which are sprouting happily on most of the library's windowsills. Two weeks ago, we planted our first seeds outside: peas! Six kinds! Then came cold, windy, dry weather. Though it's milder now, we have yet to see any pea-shoots, but we're still hoping.
Today, the last remnants of Sunday's big snowfall glistened on the ground as we seeded lettuce, radishes, beets, carrots, and parsnips in the garden. After covering the newly planted beds with floating row cover to preserve moisture, protect from wind, and ward off curious and hungry wildlife, we had a snowball fight! What larks.
