Hmmmm. But we’ve got a plumbing project tomorrow that *has* to get done (I’ve griped too much to back out now) Maybe if it gets done earlier than I expect.

Still haven’t gotten there. DH is on Spring Break (from substituting) next week, so I’m planning to go either Wednesday morning or Thursday morning. It’s going to be a wild week; trying to cram a bunch of neglected errands/ TTDs into 5 days. (Praise God, though, that he has had an assignment every day since he started!)

I got the spinach in “under the wire”, but it hasn’t sprouted yet. Carrots & turnips coming up nicely. (& got some herbs & flowers started in the kitchen windows)

What happens when you plant outside the optimum days? I planted carrots & turnips like that last year + late & got “baby” versions, but they were delicious. There are no above ground dates until the end of the month & that’s late.

Tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday are "above ground days", and I am planting some Spinach, despite the March 1st date..As cold as it's been, surely, we won't be in the mid 90's in two months..

Okay, I'm being an optimist, and I have Spinach seeds..In fact I planted some today. BTW, my Spinach Seed Tape I planted the 24 of February in the ground in my greenhouse isn't up..The lettuce next to it is, but not the spinach.
