Going from 60 yesterday to 25 currently at 4pm, is a bit depressing!
And...it is snowing.
Home made chicken vegetable soup simmering on the gas stove now...will be nice on this chilly day.
My early seeded pansies, snapdragons, and dianthus are growing well.
Same for the second BioDome I seeded, wave petunias and lots of other annuals and a few perennials.
Soon I can take my stratifying seed trays out of the fridge and get those growing.

Tried to stick a trowel in the ground yesterday...nope, still frozen. Have a few freebie lily bulbs from Jungs to get into the ground. Have them in the fridge until I can plant them.

Cheers for spring!

You are more ambitious than I am right now - but I’ll be starting salad greens within the week in the ‘cold frame’ inside of the greenhouse - just to see how it goes.
Looks like we’re going to go nowhere but UP as far as temps go next week.

But - It’s March - anyone’s guess on the weather/temps, for sure.
