In CT there was still some snow, but it's warming up this week so that should be it. I put the digitalis seedlings outside in 46 degrees for a couple of days, then left them in the mini greenhouse with the zippers open for ventilation, and covered with Reemay to diffuse the sun and keep some warmth in. The plastic cover is now in its 4th season, and has holes and splits everywhere. I actually think that's a good thing, I'm more worried about the plants frying than freezing.

New sprouts in NY: Lobelia Siphilitica, Petunia Axillaris (wild petunia), lots of each, in vermiculite in small cups. Also, all the tomatoes are up except for Sweet Million, I used old seeds, only about half germinated. I thought tomato seeds lasted forever, but I guess not.

Snaps and Nicotianas coming along,,,

...and I have a garden blooming its head off in the apartment!
