We had 8.75" of snow! Now the forecast is highs of 40's. By Monday, maybe 60. I might have plants in my greenhouse in 2 weeks. I hope my little leggy tomatoes can hold out that long!

I am making more seed tapes today. My lettuce seeds arrived yesterday and I plan to use them freely to shade out weeds.

Snow - yuck!

My tomatoes are getting a leggy start. I have them planted 4 per cell (jiffy pellet). I'm think I should transplant and plant them deeply (covering a good part of that leggy stem with soil) and let them grow adventitious roots. I should be able to use my greenhouse during the days at least starting today and overnight in a week or so. So I think they won't get terribly leggy after today.
