Spring Gardening

We have been making progress on our spring garden.  The dirt has been prepped, the radishes and lettuce planted, the spring flower pots done, and the seeds are started...

Poor Shelby was not feeling so great last weekend.  But the dogs still enjoyed getting to spend an afternoon in the backyard.  And I learned the lesson of checking if all of the pots made it through the winter... several of my small flower pots were cracked in half so had to improvise and doing something different from my usual set of small pots lining the steps.

We started the tomato, tomatillo, and pepper seeds.  It is quite the anticipation builder to have little pots of dirt that are full of promise for awesome heirloom tomatoes! Fingers are crossed.

The romas, gold medal tomatoes and tomatillos were the first to pop up.  Dan is hoping the peppers follow soon!  It has been pretty chilly so we are using the heating pad to add a little bottom heat which is suppose to help get the seeds started.

The radishes and lettuce have not quite popped yet.  It has been a week of gray skies but the upcoming week is forecasted sunny-ish days so...
