We've had a rare stint of sun. Nothing like coming out of the damp winter for a few bleary-eyed days in the sunshine. There's been lots of garden planning, yard work, dreaming of warmer months. The garlic is fully sprouting and the lettuce is coming back in. By the end of the month we'll have seedlings on the windowsill-- I'm waiting for the full moon as I'm planting by the lunar cycle this summer as an experiment.
