My Garden: What a Difference a Week Makes!

What a difference a week makes! We’ve had some very warm and sunny weather over the weekend followed by a bit of rain. As a result the snow is just about gone, just a little lingering in the shadows. The streams are raging and we are actually under a flood watch.

Luckily it takes a lot for our stream to overflow the banks so we should be fine.

I can finally see my entire vegetable garden and even the herb garden is completely free of the snow.

Much as I would love to get out and plant something we are expecting more snow today! Still to early to be out in the garden!

Inside my seedlings are doing quite well despite the fact that I was trying to raise the grow light and it fell! Tomato seedlings are quite resilient and it didn’t seem to hurt them in any way.

Nice to have this bit of green in the living room. I will have to transplant the seedlings into larger pots, probably this weekend. In the meantime I am keeping them warm and watered.

Not only did all the tomato seeds sprout but the peppers and eggplants are also doing well.

I’m looking forward to watching them get larger and eventually moving them outside into the cold frame. I may not be able to get outside and get my hands in the dirt but I am enjoying this first step of the gardening season.

Of course what a difference a day makes, this morning we woke up to snow!
