Green Shoots

Maybe.  In week or two.  What I mean is the gardening season has started!  Regardless that it feels like mid January, I have 8 different varieties of veg and flower seeds in starter flats in the basement.  Somehow it just feels like spring despite the below zero start this morning.  I only planted stuff that needs 8-10 weeks or more before outdoor transplant time.  Rosemary, celeriac, celosia etc, are all varieties which must have a long season to reach maturity before frost.   The peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and other shorter season crops can wait til the end of March.  Even if these early seedings fall prey to neglect during vacation, at least I'll have the feeling Spring is on the way.
