Or I hope it has...in Wisconsin, you can never be sure that you won't get hit with more snow until about mid-May.
Food: Possible snow aside, I've got big dreams of tomatoes and peppers and...well, mostly just tomatoes. A few weeks ago I set up three starter trays of them and they sprouted beautifully. And then I separated and re-potted them.
Sadly, they aren't doing so hot right now. Suffice it to say that you can't save every single plant and there's a reason the seed packet tells you to just do away with the wimpy looking ones. So...I've learned my lesson. Gladly, a hardy few survived my well-intentioned treatment - and will hopefully grow big enough to be transplanted to Mom's garden come late Spring!
If not, I've still got more seeds left. Wednesday and Thursday will probably be spent cleaning the starter trays and re-planting - hopefully with that packet of yellow pear tomatoes! I was thrilled to find the seeds...I first encountered yellow pears in college, when we grew them as part of a Bio/Med Club fundraiser. They're tiny and look delightful mixed in a salad...or accompanied with some cute cherry tomatoes for a summer snack.Furniture: One of my goals for this year has been to buy more handcrafted or used items, and I've been needing a coffee table for my living room. Fortunately, I was able to get one completely handcrafted and it will arrive April 25th, delivered personally by the carpenter! I'm so excited to see it!
