Yesterday was the first day of spring and it was surprisingly spring-like. With the roller coaster weather all winter, I was half expecting a blizzard. For the last couple of days, I've been able to comfortably walk around outside wearing only a fleece jacket. Now, I'm not crazy enough to put my winter coat and boots away just yet - call me superstitious, but whenever I jump the gun, Mother Nature inevitably shows me who's boss.
Inside the house, however, I'm the boss - within reason, of course :) As there has been little consistency in our weather, I decided to maintain my seeding schedule as is. There's always the temptation to move things up a bit when the weather is unseasonably warm, but it's a gamble - sometimes it pays off while other times, it doesn't. This year I have a lot on my gardening plate (more on that in a future post), so I'm sticking to the original game plan.
The onions, leeks & shallots were seeded back in February and are well on their way. So far, no issues with damping off like
last year. Now excuse me for a sec while I look for a piece of wood to knock on ;)
