What Happened to Spring?

We had a little cold snap yesterday ourselves, got down into the high forties. Had to put a blanket back on the bed.

Bright sunshine today and hardly any wind. All the veggies we planted from seed are now up. Yellow squash, green beans, cukes, lima beans, carrots all up and growing. The transplants are also doing well as we got a bit of rain shortly after planting.

Picked up the dawg from the vet hospital this morning, had her right meniscus repaired. Very expensive but worth it for this one. She's laying on a rug in the living room now with her "Elizabethan" collar on and groaning about her knee like any other senior citizen. In a few weeks she will be able to run and jump without pain we hope. Maybe take her out for a short leash walk in the garden later today and give her a chance to lay in the sunshine for a bit.

I noticed yesterday that some of the spinach and bok choy I planted earlier this week has sprouted , but the lettuce hasn't . We're expecting a light freeze tonight , so I'll be covering the hot box with a tarp ... I'll be moving those seedling out into the garden in a couple of weeks , weather permitting . I'll be checking the 10 day forecast first though , don't want a repeat of last year . It froze the night I planted them and cost me a third of my tomato seedlings . Her daffodils sure are purty !

It's coming just a little bit more slowly this year. Spring fever is getting the best of all of us. Here's a pic that might help scare away those cold nights.
