it has a life inside it...and it makes the advent of spring magical! She's here--spring that is--early and unseasonably warm, but most welcome. My sweetheart started our summer seedlings indoors, and the basil (pictured above) is going gain-busters. Some others are starting to come up now as well. We purchased a special T5 light this season for the seedlings, and it seems to be helping a lot.On Monday, I planted an early spring garden at some neighbor friend's in our ward. They own an acre (or more?), and offered a "bit of earth" to us for planting. The best part? Thanks to their neighbors (who own several horses) the beds are seasoned with all the fresh manure they care to shovel. So, basically, my little seeds are growing in black gold. I planted spinach, 'Red Sails' leaf lettuce, arugula, chives, cilantro, green onions, Swiss chard, and snow peas.
Tomorrow I am planting a similar early spring garden at my mother-in-law's house. Bring on the leafy greens!

So jealous. We have an exceptional growing season but lousy space. How good are window boxes in windows that don't open? Is it bad if they would drip on the neighbors?
