Time to think of spring

The yard has sat quietly the last 2 months as the winter crops finished up. The broccoli bolted without forming much in the way of edible heads. Everything was started much too late. Then we had the warmest January on record. The parsnips still have their baby leaves. The turnips are the right size for edible baby greens, but that's about it.

Which is fine, because the middle of March is the time to start the spring/summer garden.

Seeds started today:

bush beans
tomatoes
sugar pie pumpkins

Tomorrow I'll start dill, basil and scallions.
