I'm sure it's not just me. In fact, I KNOW it's not! This country has been through one rough winter, all the way down even into Florida, who usually gets to escape the cold. Here on the Gulf Coast, it seems like we could count on one hand how many days we've seen the sun so far this year, and we're 1 1/2 months in! So, needless to say, I'm downright giddy over the sunshine that came out yesterday and today, and is forecast for a few more before disappearing behind rain clouds. Even then, we're supposed to stay in the 70s for highs! YIPEEE!!!!! What do things look like in your neck o' the woods? Here, the grass has completely died back. The garden (thankfully!) has survived with the winter crops - I can't believe they've made it through so many hard freezes! Thankfully, we finally roofed the greenhouse and covered the open sides with thick plastic about a month ago. Now my tomatoes are beginning to grow again! A heater in there is definitely helping things along!! Here - I'll throw in some greenery to help reset your sanity: What's inside the greenhouse, you ask? Well, not a whole lot to brag about right now, but it's finally getting somewhere! Here - I'll let you see there, too: Hopefully this coming week of MUCH warmer weather will help send the greenhouse and seedlings into overdrive. I'll try to get a new post up with updated pictures in a few weeks. There should be a massive change! =) What about you? Do you have any seeds started yet? Do you have a greenhouse, or start them indoors? What do you grow, and what are you starting so far? I'd love to hear! =)

No seeds started because the weather has been so cold here in Indiana that I can't even keep my porch warm enough to put them out there. So for now, I will, (as I always seem to do) live vicariously through you and your photos. Thank you for posting something green. I'm getting very, very tired of white. ;)

Carmen's Space to WriteI love to garden and craft, which becomes quite interesting with 3 little ones underfoot, and homeschooling the oldest! Archives
