Spring, please!

Spring, please!

Last year my seedlings grew long and leggy. I realized it was a lighting problem and made lights to deal with it. This year I moved things to make it better for the seedlings– and more difficult for me.

Last year I had easy access and a full table.

Spring, please!

Note the table’s relationship to the windows and the sad excuse for lights.

This year I have to do some maneuvering to get full access to the whole table. However, I think the better lighting will make up for the extra shimmying, re-arrainging, lifting and turning I have to do to reach the plants.

Spring, please!

Notice also I did not plant every seed I plan to grow right away like I did last year. This is because impatient and stubborn is now way to garden. There are only peppers germinating this February.

Here they are– labeled even!

Spring, please!

BUT– just because impatient and stubborn is baaaaad, that does not mean that I have gotten any more patience or reduced the thickness of my skull. I could not control myself when I got my supplies in January. Still, I should a little restraint and only put 3 seeds down. Two germinated.

I call this picture: HURRY UP, SPRING!!!!

Spring, please!
