Sprung

Maybe this weekend we will get a preview of spring.   After a week in Orlando, the NCR still feels like Siberia!  However, the first planting of lettuce seedlings is up in the cold frame, the garlic has made an appearance through the thick straw mulch covering the beds and I planted tomato seeds and put them on a heating pad with plenty of light.  With a little cooperation from Mother Nature this weekend I hope to get parsley and spinach planted in the garden.  There will be plenty of frenetic activity in the next few weeks as gardeners in the Northeast try to catch up with spring plantings that have been delayed.
