Even though rain is always a welcome occurrence here, there is nothing so lifting for the spirit as the return of the bright sunshine in beautiful blue skies. Today the sunshine brought an added bonus to cheer the heart! Our seed trays had been looking as desolate as the outside landscape with their bare soil sitting for hours inside the house under fluorescent lamps during the cool, rainy weather. With the return of the sunshine and mid-60 temps, the trays were whisked outside to the rejuvenating sunshine and lively breezes. I noticed that the trays needed some water. Watering meant focusing my attention briefly on each cell of each tray. And then I began to notice them - the first sprouts of the warm weather garden! New baby tomatoes, tomatillos, basil, eggplant, nanking cherry, and strawberry spinach have begun to awake!
Come on squash and peppers - What are you waiting for?!
