Germination!


Most of my seeds are nestled in their warm burrows now and some have dared to sprout!  The beginning of a whole new season.  One week ago, March 20th, I seeded my tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, celery, parsley, basil and a few flowers.   With such a short tomato season, I am desperate to prolong it if [...]]]></description>
