Not so springey

It was probably around 0 degrees this morning as the sun came up.  That qualifies as cold, even in the  North Country for March fifth.   I wouldn't be surprised if you could walk to Vermont from here across the frozen surface of Lake Champlain.  Nontheless, I am persisting.  I planted seeds for peppers, eggplant and several varieties of flowers which take up to 100 days to flower from seed.  The germination trays are huddled in the basement on heating mats with fluorescent lights and I am checking them for moisture each morning.  Meanwhile, daylight savings time starts this week and I am hopeful it will bring warmer weather.  I have a feeling it will be getting crowded downstairs in the coming weeks.
