Spring is missing in action

Well Mother Nature is sure not in a hurry with spring this year around. It was 17 degrees Saturday night, and on Tuesday afternoon we got another snowstorm.

But at home we have plants waking and ready to get some sunshine. My fig plant that was overwintering has started growing and has baby figs starting to form. The overwintered pepper and rosemary also starting to add new growth.
 
And my seedlings are awake and started to stretch toward the lights.

Now if only weather would cooperate..

  1. Sorry about your snow. None here for now. Peas have been planted as well as spinach and lettuces. My tomatoes just germinated inside and I've got bok choy and other lettuces hardening off in preparation for joining the sown seeds in the garden.

  2. I've been shoveling the garden out. I did some more today. We are getting a very nice warm spell for the next few days. Sorry you got more snow. We had a few flakes this week, but nothing that stuck.

    1. That's what i hope to get here for two days to warm up soil just a little bit. Normally i'd have first greens and radishes by now!

  3. That's about it - it's sort of seasonal now, but when I look at past temps, we are still a good few degrees below the average. A few degrees at this time of year can mean the difference between getting seedlings outside or not...ugh. Not impressed.

    1. Oh i think this is more than just few degrees - it's not supposed to be 17F at the end of March. 30's should be the "norm" with occasional dip to 28. :(
