The View from Our Window- Spring Edition

April 21, 2010: Well, we are in fact famous, having a picture of our backyard on the Daily Beast and all... but turns out our backyard looks nothing like that anymore! So here we are... the view from our window, spring edition. The snow has melted, the grass is just starting to think about turning green. The bike that Tomas loaned us, complete with studded tires for the icy patches on the trails, is out after frequent as we take turns riding to work. I went for a ride yesterday in just a long sleeve t-shirt because it was a balmy 44 degrees. Wonderful!

We share the view from our window with my new project... my seedlings. Aren't they cute! I am still not sure why some have not sprouted, but I have at least one healthy crop of lettuce so far that are working their way toward the sun in the window! I am told that I should not plan to put anything in the ground until late May, however, so it may be awhile before we are eating backyard salads. If anyone has any good tips on sprouting seedlings and/or cold climate gardening... send them my way!
