First sprouts of Spring

Just as the cold a dreary wintery days are taking their toll on my time outside, there are some sprouts of hope for the Spring ahead. To be fair, my work has been keeping me inside just as much as the weather, but my work load has decreased slightly so I have more opportunity to get into the garden.

My children recently bought some window box planter kits with herb, flower and tomato seeds. The boxes were planted out eagerly. As these have been kept inside, the seeds have germinated rather quickly. While my seed trays in the greenhouse are taking their time to produce sprouts, the window boxes are excitingly full of life after only a few weeks.

Seeing these sprouting seedlings and thinking of the planting and growing in the weeks and months ahead I am both excited and invigorated.
