Most of the pepper and eggplant seeds have sprouted, so over the weekend Bill moved that tray to another of our southward-facing windows. Here it is, protective anti-cat barriers in place.
In other early-spring (close enough) news, yesterday Bill planted the peas outside in our buckets. The buckets are protected by a thick plastic covering, which keeps out any snow that might fall and helps warm and protect the earth and seeds, kind of like a greenhouse.
Soon we will begin adding compost to the other gardens, and digging the two new 4' x 4' gardens.
It's funny, but even now, as we're just starting up for the growing season, we are looking ahead to next winter, when our winter garden - one of the 4x4 plots - will be up and running and providing us with all sorts of fresh green goodies through the cold months.
