tagrynI'm appreciative that its getting lighter sooner and later in the day; going to work in the dark and getting out of work in the dark can get a little depressing. We saw a rainbow going into church this morning, which was odd considering we got no rain as the clouds moved in. Hm.
Yesterday and today its in the 60s, which is a dramatic and welcome change from the frigid conditions we got most of last week. We hit Homestead Gardens yesterday and I picked up some seedlings, including cilantro seeds which I have soaking now for planting later. According to this chart of the most cost-effective plants to grow, dollar-for-space cilantro is right at the top. We also got seeds for lettuce, which I should be able to put in sooner than everything else, probably early March.
I checked the frost dates for our area and it turns out that we've just entered the top-end of the 8-10 week window where certain seedlings should be started so they're ready to go in the ground when the last frost threat is past. That includes most of my tomatoes, though the Sugar Sweeties say to wait another couple of weeks. This morning I assembled my indoor greenhouse for our seedlings, I'll probably be putting in the cilantro, lettuce, and cat grass later today.
And this week, pitchers and catchers report in baseball, and in three weeks are the first games of spring training. Spring's just around the corner!
