We had a lovely, warm weekend. At last! Though, again, the outlook now is rain with highs in the lower 50’s and lows not much above 40.  We put all the windowsill plants outside on Saturday.  They came through last night, which got down to 48, just fine.  We’ll have to bring the less cold tolerant plants inside tomorrow though.

We have been eating a leaf or two from the larger lettuce that we started indoors, along with using some of the chives.  I am a lot more enthusiastic about our homegrown lettuce than I was expecting.  The leaves are very delicate and have far more flavor than the store bought varieties. The Columbia City Farmer’s Market starts next Wednesday.

The cat dug up one of our 2 pea plants (with no signs from our second planting, still).  Tux, is that you?  Nothing was touched last year, but this year it seems like it’s more likely than not that anything we plant outside will be destroyed. The green garlic (perhaps it doesn’t smell very good to a cat) has started to come up, though, and we think we see a few cauliflower sprouts.  There are some tiny sprouts where we planted alyssum, but it’s too early to tell if they are weeds or flowers.  We’re trying again for some parsley and some not so lanky tomatoes.
