Springing into Action

Spring is soooo close to being here! Even though its only 50 degrees us Minnesotans act as if its 80 and sunny. Neighbors you forgot you had emerge to say hello and you discover that tool that you left in the yard as the snow melts all around. Today had my spring juices flowing! Seedlings are planted. Even though its painful, this year I am cutting back. Having over 50 seedlings scattered around the house was not ideal for my house or for my sanity in the midst of wedding planning. This year its tomatoes, peppers and herbs that got the head start. The rest will come later. Last year I used the cheapest seed starting soil and it took about 2 weeks to get spouts to emerge. This year I used organic soil and those puppies were up in less than a week. When the earth speaks and you listen, magic happens. Between the compost, organic soil, organic seeds and our new fencing system we should have the best year yet for crops! We ran out of canned salsa about a month ago so we need this year to be big! Spring cleaning, seeds planted, tulips coming up, snow melting, outdoor grilled steaks, sun tea brewing on the deck. Spring. is. here.

Halleluja!!
