Simple Seedy Seedlings

Without much snow this winter and those teasing days of beautiful 60 degree weather every other week, I've had enough already.  Daylight savings in this weekend and the daylight hours are growing by the minute each day.  I am ready for warm breezes, the hot sunshine, and a garden full of food!  In anticipation of the growing season, I've started a few of my seeds inside already. I know a few of them may be a little early, but I just couldn't help myself.  I started these on Feb. 2.

Below is are the Borage seedlings that are the largest in the tray.  I will be transferring them into separate little containers within the next few days to give them more room.
Borage is an annual plant that has beautiful blue star-shaped flower clusters and very furry leaves.  This is my first time growing Borage, so I will be sure to let you know how it goes and what I end up using it for.

February chills

This week started off with a beautifully sunny and warm February Monday, the greenhouse was a balmy 70 degrees and felt oh so good on the skin after months of winter's chill.  Then, the rest of the week went back to a normal dreary, cloudy, cold,  and rainy winter.  But that didn't really matter much and I didn't let it get me the least bit down because I got to spend everyday of this past week in the greenhouse seeding ONIONS!!! And leaks and scallions!  The sweet and earthy smell of the greenhouse comes as a beautiful relief to winter's stale freeze.


The winter months can drag on and on- especially when we don't get any snow.  I love a little snow storm in the winter, to get snowed in, watch movies, go for a walk, and get cozy. The clouds can't seem to part to let in the tiniest amount of sunlight.  It has been a mild winter, but at this point, all I really want is spring.

February seeding: onions, leeks, and scallions.

A delicious way to wake up after a session of yoga.  There is nothing better than fresh juiced juice!  This morning I whipped up... carrot, celery, ginger, apple, pineapple, parsley, beet, and broccoli stalks.  Really, just whatever fruits and vegetables I can find in the ice box.  It's just so so good.
