I smell spring! by Kira

Early morning snowshoe.

Happy ducks dabbling in the open creek.

One of our brightly coloured roosters.

Tent set up in the screen porch.

These kids are ready for spring!

Life!

The peppers and eggplants are sprouting. The salad greens

containers are working well.

This week we will start the tomatoes, tomatillos, ground cherries and the fennel.

Oh dear, our house is going to be full of seedlings.

Last night I soaked pepper and eggplant seeds.

The kids and I tucked them into their soil filled containers today.

I am using soil-less soil to start them in.

For starting trays we used salad greens containers.

We will keep the lids on,

taking them off a couple of times a day for some fresh air.

The covered plastic boxes will act like a little green house,

keeping the moisture in and stabilizing the temperature.

Next week these little fellows will be sprouting,

and then it will be time to start tomatoes!
