By this time, we're all so fed up with winter-and seed starting isn't for another 2 months!-that seeing anything grow boosts the spirit. Last year, the Kid and I did 2 jars of sprouts a week, 1 mung bean for stir fries, soups and omelets, and 1 alfalfa for fresh eating and giving the dog gas-because the dog loves sprouts, but oh boy do we pay for her love of them! We've tried growing pots of greens over winter, but the other 4 foots think it's a kitty grazing garden. I know kitties like and need greens too, but when the seedlings are up enough to start the second leaves and then you find them nipped to the ground...well, the kitties run 'cause Mama's yelling. Stinkers! LOL! This is why we do sprouts at our house. By this time, we’re all so fed up with winter-and seed starting isn’t for another 2 months!-that seeing anything grow boosts the spirit.

Philadelphia hit the high 40s yesterday after about 10 days near freezing, and I spent 2 hours mucking around in the yard, knowing that it was too early to do anything useful but unable to restrain myself.
