The seeds are in!

Alright, it's been a really nasty winter, and the spring is just refusing to take over. Where do we live? Sigh…I still have a hope for the better weather to come, for the spring blooms, and summer vegetables. To speed up the process I started my seeds of eggplants and basil. That was 10 days ago. Right now I am very happy to report that all of my seeds sprouted very well, fast and plentiful. And as of today my eggplants are starting the first pair of true leaves, and the same with basil. And to top my excellent gardening mood about three days ago we had an absolutely beautiful weather, very sunny and almost warm (53F!). So we've had our first outdoor afternoon tea of the season on the patio. Lovely. Gucci was rolling in the dirt though, so the day ended with a cat bath in the kitchen sink and one very unhappy furry creature.
