Planting Seeds

(This was supposed to go up on the 7th but for some reason I never posted it. The events of my latest blog entry may have had something to do with my spaciness...) Over the last month I've been planting. In early April I concluded that since the ice storms seemed to be finally over and the dirt in my planters was "able to be worked" (quoting from the seed packet here) that is was time to plant my early-spring seeds.

The bok choy came up beautifully, despite being year-old seeds. The year-old chive seeds, however, were a no-show, so I bought a plant and the bok choy will take over their planter. The forget-me-nots are sprouted, and the parsley is finally seeming to make an appearance.

A couple of weeks ago I planted basil (now starting to come up) morning glories (just popped up this weekend, to impress my mom and dad when they visited Sunday!) and cucumbers (still thinking about coming up any day now...)

In the perennial container, the pansies have fully recovered from ice storms and are blooming like crazy. The first johnny-jump-up plant has bloomed, and the others are jumping up.

We had a freeze warning here last night -- the temp dropped to 33 F.
