Super Bowl Frenzy

GO COLTS
Of course I am for the Colts.  I am from Indiana, afterall.

SEEDLING UPDATES

After having some trouble getting used to the new seedling room.  Heat adjustments and such, I am having much better luck with the seedlings.  I cooked the early tomato seedlings, so I am reseeding today for another round.  I have also lost about half of the basil.  Starting more of that today too.   Celebrity tomatoes, lavender eggplants, cilatro and 2nd round basil are looking good.  Also leeks, and daisys.  Today, I seeded basil, tomatoes, more cilantro, flat leaf parsley,black beauty eggplants, dill and hollyhocks.  The 2nd basil should be ready for transplanting on Tuesday.

We have more snow coming in tomorrow night.  I do love snow but it is getting a little old.  Doesn't make it easy to get all the barn chores done. I also have to get to the greenhouse.  It is still loaded down with stuff from last year.  We just sorta threw everything in there when we were done last year

I am itchin to get to plantin.  I have a copy of "The Victory Garden"  It is a great how to book and what to do each month.  I have great plans for extending the seasons this year.  That is goal number 1.  To up production in order to have enough to supply demand and put up for our winter use. 

We seem to be having our share of weird animal stories this winter.  Today, I went into the bathroom and found my cat nose to nose with a snake.  YES, A SNAKE.  It was a little one; about 7 inches long but it was a snake none the less, in the house.  My big brave man hit it with a shoe and flushed it.  Ticked the cat off.  I have no idea how that thing got into the house.  It is the second one this winter.  not good.

Back to the super bowl.  Also not looking good for the Colts.  Gotta go root them on.
See ya on the farm
