...left until spring officially arrives. seeds came into the shop yesterday (i missed unpacking those!) and i cannot wait to get them started. all my windowsills will be crammed full of every available container sprouting tiny seeds. what am i planning on this spring? sweet peppers, hot peppers, eggplants, heirloom tomatoes (for jimmy), grape and cherry tomatoes, salsa tomatoes, onions, garlic, lettuces, arugula, rainbow chard, carrots...i'd like to try potatoes in a burlap bag (how cute)...all sorts of herbs, lemon verbena for my tea, chamomile, mint (mojitos!!)...french lavender to replace jimmy's that i murdered this winter. (accident. oops)
we are expanding my veggie garden to the side of the house next to the alley. how happy would i be to come out to water one morning and see a neighbor helping themselves to a tomato or pepper from my yard. yay :)
on another note, i was walking waffles yesterday and noticed a few green sprouts in peoples' yards that definitely were not there last week. thank you, mid-60's temperatures for that. i am bursting out of my skin to get out in the yard and digging in the dirt.
it's going to be a good season. :)
