Suh-nee Days, Sweepin' the Clouds Ah-Way

After a Saturday morning of Elmo and fighting the cold wind outside at the local Literacy Festival, followed by a Saturday afternoon of cleaning house, it was such a treat to see the sun shining today. We still have wind, but the temp sans wind is around 65, and the snow we feared never came. Nor did the freeze. So far, so good (knock wood!).

Stopped up at the garden today to find that our lettuce have sprouted! First sign of life in the garden. We put in our starter flats of herbs, tomatoes, and peppers; those should sprout soon, thanks to the sunny front windows. We'll have a lot fewer cherry tomatoes than we hoped, as C-Dawg got over-excited about helping and opened the seed packet into the wind. We managed to find about 10 of what we think are the seeds on the driveway, and we planted 'em. If we're lucky, at least a couple will be the cherries.

What went into pots today (all SSE seeds, of course):
Johnny Jump-ups

Amish Paste Tomato

Sweet Pea Currant Tomato (we hope!)

Santa Fe Grande Peppers

Rosemary
Russian Tarragon
Cinnamon Basil
Sweet Marjoram
Thyme
Stevia (for Sam to keep indoors in pots)

We have a bunch of what looks like Queen Anne's Lace sprouting in the garden, which means (sadly) that our Dragon Carrots won't be seed-savable. They'll cross-pollinate. Bummer.
