Grumble and Fret

I haven't posted anything for the past few weeks because I'm feeling resentful about our cold and windy Spring. Lots of wind, some snow, and chilly temperatures have kept me from feeling like winter is really over. Can it really be May 2nd? The grass is green and a few daffodils are up, but the trees are still bare and we have yet to experience a truly warm day. Can you tell that I'm impatient?!

I did start a few more flats of seeds - rudbeckia, nasturtiums, violas, sunflowers, lavender, cilantro, and 3 kinds of tomatoes (grape, cherry, and yellow heirloom). Everything except the lavender has done well and the tomatoes and nasturtiums are a few inches high. Today it was so windy that one of my flats of sweet peas got blown off a shelf - twice. I hope they survive...

Because we never rigged up a heating system for the greenhouse, I schlepp most of the seedlings out to the greenhouse every morning, and then back inside late in the evening when I realize the temperature has dropped into the 30's. Spring weather, where are you?
