Our quick taste of spring is over

Yesterday and today were in the mid to high 50's and it felt so good, got to sit outside in the sun for a little while.   Well reality bites and we go back to cold temps and possible snow for at least the next 10 days.

So today I finally started more seeds....5 different lettuces, baby bok choy, eucalyptus, more impatient and more petunias and eggplant.   Think tomorrow will start some spinach and when they go in the ground (if it ever warms up) will also plant seed for a continuous supply.   Want to get peppers started too.  Need to finalize garden plan so I know exactly how many and what variety I need to start.

Played around with the tomato bed plan and can get 6 plants in instead of just four.  Really want to make and freeze tomato sauce this year.

Seedlings are all still growing well, had to turn on second bank of lights so I could put my bigger plants on the low shelf with the seedlings on upper rack for easier access to them.

So here I sit waiting for spring.  So keep warm everyone, talk to you soon
