In reply to Scoops. Oh how I hope you're right about it being a true early spring this year! Last year was soo depressing. A non-snowy April would be fantastic!

In reply to ELISE. That's a good idea to use those salad containers. I might steal that from you and do that when my seedling start to get a little bit bigger. Regarding your dad, I totally get following the rules BUT I could tell it was going to warm up early this year, so its probably likely that we'll be able to get things in the ground a tad sooner AND I don't see any harm in having larger plants ready to go into the garden. But, everyone does it differently, I get it. Enjoy the weather this week!!

Great post! I may need one of those grow lights. I am a lazy seed starter. I just pour potting mix into those containers that salad comes in. I did a bunch of flower and herb seeds this past weekend but my father tells me it is too soon (we’re in Mpls too – in Linden Hills). I should keep up a chart like the one you did, but nah – too lazy!

I’m getting ready for Spring by making a list of all the things I’m going to spray paint as soon as it’s warm enough to spray paint outside!!

Just today, I bought a few new indoor plants to help brighten things up these last few weeks of winter. Hoping that getting my hands in some dirt now will help me feel like spring is actually on its way!

It’s already felt like spring here in Utah for the last month or so — it’s been eerily warm and bright this “winter”. We did finally get about an inch of snow yesterday, and for the first time since Christmas it didn’t all melt by the afternoon. Alas, my spring preparations are not the fun kind — I’m gearing up to hand in and defend my Master’s thesis, so that’s what I’m spending my time on these days.

We’re doing this exact same thing to get ready for Spring. My husband has quite the set up complete with grow lights!

im so ready for spring. We are planning out our annual vegetable garden, and I’m deciding on a few new perennials to add to a flower bed out front. And counting down the days til it’s above freezing out!

Our spring project is to get the nursery in order. We need to fix some plaster cracks and paint our extra room to get it ready for our June visitor! Good luck with the seedlings.

well… we have an RV now! There’s honestly so much I want to do now that its getting warmer though. Paint is at the top of the list for sure although I’m dreading it. Not sure what to do with these horrible wallpapered walls. Ack!

I’m doing some major cleaning around the house, getting rid off things we not longer need/want, organizing what we do need and hopefully sometime soon I can give my master bedroom a little makeover.

To get over my Minnesota winter blues, I made a wreath for spring/summer with succulents. Fake of course, as I have a black thumb : )

Well as I am in a new to us house, that hadn’t been taken care of for a decade – I am hand pulling a small killer grass that my dog ate last year which led to surgery to remove the grass seed. We don’t have that kind of grass in Michigan or Oregon so I had never seen it before. Welcome to California! I am also working on hand-weeding a small weed that puts out terrible burrs that get dragged into the house and stuck in the carpet. This small plant can’t hide from me because it has a yellow flower (I dislike yellow flowers) so I can head right to it to yank it out.
