It's Spring!!!!!!!!!!!

And officially spring--past the vernal equinox AND we just had our first religious person bothering us at the door.  We get a mix of faiths pestering us here every year, but the one thing they all have in common:  the bother-people-in-their-homes part of the faith only applies in warm weather.  It's a perk of the norther climates that we get a break for a few months. 

I've got most of my vegetables started now, including some cold-weather plants,

which are outside the greenhouse but still in planting trays as part of the Seedling Protection Program. Arugula, snow peas, onions, and carrots, so all could have been direct-seeded if we didn't have kitty-helpers who are much faster than carrot seedlings ever DREAMED of being.

Let the gardening games begin!!!
