I have spinach up, I have tomatoes in the greenhouse (less SIX the @#$%^&! mice chewed off), red peppers in the house still under lights, and I started basils and lettuces and Zinnia this past week (also in the house, germinating).

Picked a lovely bunch of Daffodil this morning - they opened right on time for Easter Morning. :)

It looks like I’ll have TONS of Daffs and Tulips for cutting; so glad I added to the garden beds two Falls ago. Puppies re-arranged some of one bed, but it’s just for cutting for me, not for winning Blue Ribbons. ;)

I eventually forgive them ALL of their naughtiness.

I have a nice row of daffodils on the path to the barn. Some we brought from our old house, at least 15 years there and 41 years here. An old variety. Why don’t you stick one of your cats in the greenhouse?
