If you pass by the color purple in a field and don't notice it, God gets real pissed off. - Alice Walker

did the heirloom 'starts' 2 days ago. it basically was everything that can't wait to be put directly in the ground,which will begin to happen w/in the next month,unless we keep getting freak snow-storms that blanket the ground with 2 inches of snow...greatest thing to wake up to ever!

finally,after more than a week,a pepper decided to sprout...one of the non-heirloom ones that i started awhile ago,just to 'see'. weirdo. beardo.

we also(finally)got on top of obtaining a compost bin.

we also got a wheel barrel.
good for moving things around and such.

picked up some really cool flower seeds. passion flower. it looks like an alien. it's a climber,so i would like to have it,eventually, climb around the garden fencing, which we,of course, have yet to get around to putting up. flowers everywhere! the lily bulbs that mom got me have sprouted! hope snow doesn't get them! also want to try and save the living christmas tree by transferring it to new dirt and ground and fresh air, w/in the next week...plant. plant. plant. dirt. dirt. dirt.

spring approach-eth.

haven't planted any heirloom seeds yet,as i want jake to help,so that i'm not the only one to blame when something "doesn't work. "

non-heirloom seeds that i have planted and that have spouted are:
*sunflowers
*red sunflowers
*catnip
*basil
*dill
*climbing spinach
*nasturtium
*peas
*okra
*sage
*sweet marjoram

in the next few days,i think that jake and i are going to at least start preparation for heirloom-seed-ocity.

nothing too exciting yet...
