Hey, good news! I’ve got teeny little baby lettuces and cabbages popping up in the garden!

They took two weeks to germinate, probably due to the cold snap a week and a half ago... but now we’re on our way to salad.

Fantastic! S’posed to get cold Sun nite—don’t forget to cover them up!

Watching seeds sprout is such a miracle, and very humbling. I love to watch stuff grow, esp in the greenhouse. You can go in in the morning and stuff will just be a curl. By afternoon, it’s standing up and has two leaves.

We sold a bunch of stuff today. potatoes and onions and lots of baby plants. I tried to caution everyone that bought plants—it’s only s’posed to be in the low 30’s tomorrow night. You can’t take babies from a 90 degree greenhouse/ 50 ish at night and put them out in freezing weather. :( If they were a little bigger, they’d be fine.

I have really enjoyed taking people out in the greenhouse today. Green therapy! Outside weather wasn’t bad here, either. Almost 70 and not a cloud in sight. It could stay like that year round and it wouldn’t bother me one bit!:)
