Gardening has Started!!!!

broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts and cabbage seedlings

shallot and leek seedlings
Time for starting gardening has come!   Although we are mostly doing it indoors at this point.  We now have shallots, leeks, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, peppers, kale, brussels sprouts, eggplant and some cherry tomatoes started in containers on a shelf in an east facing window.  More seeds will be started soon.  Chives are coming up in the herb bed now that the snow has mostly melted away.  This slow warming trend is nice (even if it is slow I think we are all tired of winter!).  I just hope it means that we'll continue our gradual warm-up and won't have any mid and late spring cold snaps like the last couple of years.  It would be nice to have some apples, plums and pears blossoms NOT get frozen this year!
