Planting Time

Well, we didn't get to see the eclipse but there is a full moon (full snow moon as Prairyerth says), and it is about 6 weeks til supposed last frost, so it seems time to put the seeds in the ground; in starter medium anyway. I rigged up an aluminum box with a lightbulb inside to provide heat to keep the soil at about 85 degrees til the seeds sprout. All peppers and tomatoes for now. Anything else will be planted directly in the garden after the soil warms enough.

Yup, this weekend I will be starting my kale and chard indoors. We're about 3 or 4 weeks behind you in Oklahoma, and we're now getting a fair dusting of snow and sleet as I write.
Daylight savings in two weeks!!!

Sorry you missed the eclipse. It was the first one I remember watching, and we got to see most of it before the clouds rolled in. Strange phenomenon.
