Spring Is Not Yet In The Air

We need spring. We need it desperately and, usually, we need it before God is willing to give it to us.
- Peter Gzowski, Spring Tonic

Despite our best efforts Spring has not yet sprung. Which is clear from the fact that the freezing +40MPH winds took the power out around here Saturday night. Not to mention is was 30 degrees and very windy sunday.My beautiful daughter Annie and I had time earlier in the Day to check on the worms and start the first of the spring flats. Annie Planted beefsteak tomatoes and spinach. I planted all the lettuce, green peppers, red peppers and eggplant.

Next Monday is St. Patty's Day which is the day to plant peas. More on that here http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/16/garden/16natu.html

We are putting in some sugar snaps. I am going to try (weather and time permitting) to finish my cold frame construction and get the soil loosened around the pea trellis I made last year.
