After days of temps in the 70s, we had snow last night. Luckily the garlic doesn't seem to mind too much.
Meanwhile inside, the seedlings seem happy.

| Cabbages! |
 |
| One Giant Cabbage |
That one cabbage that's bigger than the rest was moved out of the little peat pots and into a big red cup two weeks before the others. I'm learning that if you don't plant up the little seedlings (cabbages, tomatoes, or whatever ) as soon as they get their first set of true leaves, they wont' grow as quickly as they could.

| Whopper Tomatoes |
|
 |
| Cherry Tomatoes - ready to be moved to the red cups! |
|
|
 |
| Romaine Lettuce- a little leggy and also ready for the red cup treatment. Kale at the top of the pic will be ready for up-planting in a week or so. | | | | |

My ground cherries finally sprouted!
 |
| Baby Ground Cherries |
|
|
I just looked back at my blog entries from last year at this time. My ground cherry seedlings were slightly bigger but my tomatoes were a lot smaller. I started everything later than I did this year, but the ground cherries sprouted on my first attempt last spring.
According my my gardening books I can plant my peas and add my cabbage plants to the garden five weeks before the last frost - which is Monday! Hopefully we'll be done with snow by then. :/
