Began thinning the carrots in the greenhouse
Lettuce should begin harvest in 2 weeks
1st seeding of radish bulbing up
Tatsoi about 1/2 inch leaf
Spinach on 2nd leaves
Chard is baby size

Last years oregano I thought I killed is all leafing out!

AND, drum roll please, the Meyer Lemon trees are growing new branches everywhere. When I pinch a baby leaf the scent is so strong. I am so excited. I may have lemons!!

The third baby fig started from a branch is budding. Figs are starting to grow on the 2 year old tree and the almost one year old.

I' gonna eat a fresh picked fig in about 4 weeks!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Heaven.

6 more are in the water tables waiting for roots.
I am so, aw gee, umm...well, I am whistling away, a little bounce in the step. I was dripping sweat in the greenhouse seeding away, while it was woahwickedchilly outside. I had to find the scrub brush for my finger nails. And I love it!! Every day that beautiful sun has been just shining away. The promise, that Spring IS coming, (it really is!) starts my each morning. And I am waking up with a smile on my lips an a prayer of gratefulness in my heart and my mind says, "Oh, Thank you."

I have another opportunity to grow as much food as I can, and it will be more, G-d willing, than the year before. I have another opportunity to store as much food as I can, to can as much as I can, freeze as much as I can, expand the root storage, and of course, help other people learn to do this, and of course, sell as much as I can.

I think next winter is going to be rough. For everyone. And we have another opportunity to prepare.
