Sunny and crisp this morning! I look forward to another day in the greenhouse, where the sunshine warms the space to a delightful 95 degrees! The seedlings and plants are loving every hour of sunlight, and growing visibly each day. We're wearing our cutoffs and pretending to be in some tropical paradise! Just need some colorful drink with a little umbrella! We've seeded over 200 varieties, and potted lots more as plugs and cuttings that I've taken since last summer. The space is getting crowded already, and we look forward to good weather, when we can move some of the perennials over to the coldframe to begin hardening off. I've been busy designing new displays and categories for the plant sales area, and we're making some new signs as well. No work in the gardens yet, but I could spend an afternoon picking up fallen branches. We did trim the plants in the front barn beds, and have been walking by the areas where the first crocuses should appear. Although we always have something blooming in the greenhouse, our eyes are hungry for those first outdoor blooms. That will mean that Spring is truly near!
