Dress warm,irish up the coffee and take heart in knowing that spring is truely right around the corner!!! I know because it's pothole season here(just started this week) which means spring will be following right behind it. How's that for optimism.

Instead I was labeling my pots that I will be planting my tomatos in. Not planting till end of the month, but figured I could at least get that part done. Cripes, if I'm not careful, I'll have soil and seeds in the pots by the end of the night!
Oh, I did plant some fresh cabbage seeds. Thought that would hold me over. Didn't help, so I planted some parsley and sprouting a few more red onion seeds in paper towels. Still not helping. You would have thought I would have gotten enough of a fix growing and killing the first two tomatos I set out!
