The Springing of Spring!

Bezzie, it's cold here, which means 40s, and very wet.  We have an exceptionally long growing season, and I do try to put in the plants in early spring for an earlier yield as well as to allow the plants to get those spring rains for a bit before the heat sets in.  They seem to do better.   Also I only put out the cold crops this weekend, the tomatoes need a bit more heat to thrive.  I am considering cutting terraces  for tomatoes on the hill, even if there are no stones to hold the wall, so to speak.

I forgot to mention that my daffodils are up and blooms are incipient!  When they do open, I will snap some pics and post them.  

I also have a bunch of lettuce that I started from seeds in December in my kitchen window, as well as a number of recent seed starts, including about 4 eggplant, 12 tomatoes, 6 cukes that are ready to break free of the seed starter, 12 sunflowers, and a tray of various flowers for Littlest's cutting garden, that I still need to find a home for.  

I am hoping that my seedlings do better than last year's seedling, and I will probably also find a place to put in some potted tomatoes from the nursery, since they will be further along than the seedlings in my window. 

I am determined to get some good harvest this year, but am not sure where to put all of it.   The plants, not the harvest.  I know what to do with the harvest....yummmm! 

For the record, many of my co-workers had the same horrified reactions when I mentioned the planting.  I think I am a wee bit early this year, but the weather has been unseasonably warm so I think it's appropriate.  

Oh yeah, I treated my restlessness and fatigue with a bit of Wyder's and some plum wine....made me feel better.....I am considering a proper bender today after the errands are done.
