It's 9:45 am and 54 outside and it's the damp cold still, so it's too cold out there to do anything.

The bulb onions look like they did grow more last night. I need warmer weather so all those carrot seeds in four grow bags will sprout.

The 35-40 strawberry plants in containers, stayed sort of dormant during the winter, and now I see what strawberry plants are supposed to look like as they are growing tall compared to the more flat look during winter. And there is lots of new growth and numerous blossoms. I really think I'll get strawberries.

These seeds under the grow lamp have now sprouted and growing fast from one day to the next (seeds planted one week ago today):
Tycoon tomatoes - 4
4th of July tomatoes - 5
Sweet Million tomatoes - 4
Mortgage Lifter tomatoes - 5
Better Boy tomato - 1
Lemon Balm - maybe 10
T Squash - 3
Sun Flower Sunspot - 3
Sun Flower Velvet Queen - 3
Onion Borettana Cipollini button onion - see bits of green, 5 or more.
Hot Pepper Mix - 1 right now, peppers take longer to sprout
Tobacco - 2 or 3 and need transplanting, they have been there a while, not part of the planting last week

We got a dusting of snow last night. It got up to about 34 degrees and the sun came out, so the snow melted. We will be back down to the 20’s tonight. Then we are supposed to have at least a week of nicer temps.

I’ll get some more digging done and rye turned under. I have some potatoes out on the table in the light so they can be ready for the April 1 plant date, if the weather feels right.
