| I'm starting to think that winter is over. At least the big hard nasty winter. What do you think? Even more interesting...what are you planting? I put in potatoes and 1 calendula and some kale. Will stick in som snow peas and I hope I'm not too late. Tossed out some saved seeds for Mexican Mint Marigold. I spotted the purple amarant coming up so I'll move them around. WOW |

| Currently planted for me: Spinach Kale Collards Carrots Turnips Onions Garlic Cabbage Cauliflower Parsnips Radish Peas Mustard Greens Yukon Gold Potato Under lights: This is my first year with a very large garden and my second year with a garden. I think everything is going as planned so far. My radishes are starting on their first true leaves. Everything in the ground has sprouted except the cabbage and others that I put in the front yard garden. |

| I have some of the romanesq broccoli /caulifower started and will put them in the garden today or tomorrow along with some chard, but I am concerned that I am too late for big gorgeous plants. c |

| I really don't trust that it is over, Cynthia, though maybe not a really bad blast coming. |
|
| I think it's about over, though we're having a few cold nights. I've started peppers, tomatoes and a bunch of flowers from seed, tomatoes and one pepper are all that have come up yet, and I'm bringing them indoors at night. I already planted some tomatoes, and am covering them at night. But I think it's essentially done for this year. |

| Rule of thumb - Wait till April Fool's day. Remember that snow we had in early April a few years ago? Anything could happen for the next 6 weeks. |

| It has been a mild winter here in San Antonio. My one bell pepper plant never froze and has new leaves coming out. I have spinach, romain and cabbage just sprouting. I figure I can always plant them again. |
|
| Thermometer says 27 at my house this morning and there is ice in the bird baths, so it is still winter where I live. |

| I had frost this morning nearby Spicewood but forecast calls for rather mild weather for at least a week. My Montezuma Cypress is growing! Bermuda grass are slowly starting to green up as well. |
