		<description><![CDATA[My vegetable garden is not what I planned this year.  As I mentioned before, I had a massive seedling loss this spring.  Not only did a mouse eat all of my eggplants and peppers (a not so uncommon phenomenon I am finding out), something was not right with my seed mix.  My seedlings emerged from [...]]]></description>

My children are very into pointing out the signs- a warm day and short sleeves, crocuses in the green grass, twittering birds, pussy willows and forsythia, daffodil buds, a bee, and lots and lots of fresh air.  [...]]]></description>

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>
