There’s something downright magical about starting a plant from seed and then getting it in the ground. Grow, Jericho Romaine- grow!

First round of starts ready to germinate! Hopefully they sprout quickly - this unusually warm spring is fantastic, but has me feeling a few weeks behind schedule.

Why hello, Spring bulbs! I knew you were down there somewhere.

It may be too soon to plant and too soon to build new garden beds… but it’s never too soon to stake out where things will go!

Our first Ghost Chili peppers of the 2011 season, on overwintering plants in the basement. Better late than never! Can’t wait to taste.

Planning the 2012 Ferocious Garden expansion in Sketchup. Is it Spring yet?

So wait, Detroit is in the same zone as parts of New Mexico and Iowa now?

Far too early to plant, but never too early to plan. Looking forward to spring!

Please keep your fingers crossed that my bean sprouts!
