While you are outdoors planting, I’ll be indoors sipping tea, and doing “spring” cleaning. Also gearing up to start canning whatever meats go one sale.

I like to do my canning in the winter as much as possible, since that’s when we can use the extra heat.

I have twenty cups of different seeds in seed starter under the grow lamp.

I finally got my act together this morning, by separating packets of seeds into the month I plant them, that would be February and March. March 1, is a big bunch of them and I’m counting on no frost after March 1.

I went though all the packets including the ones I’ve planted and marked the month on them when to start the seeds. I was drowning in seed packets until I got them sorted today.

I need to count up the number of containers I will need, if I need more, but that task is difficult as some plants will grow in smaller, shallower containers, and some need larger, deeper containers. That is the next task - to figure that out. I have a stack of the plastic planting bags (look like white grocery bags as brown paper bags look except have drainage holes in the bottom), and that should do for some of these plants.

At some point, fingerling potato slips (if they are called that) will be sent to me.
