The Calendar Says That Technically It's Still Winter. . .

. . . but you wouldn't know it.  Today we're 20 degrees above the normal temperatures for this time of year and the weather folks are calling the last frost date about two weeks earlier than they did last year.

Anyway, it was great gardening weather.  We started our first batch of compost tea (thanks to Deirdre and Phil Armstrong for getting us started last year), started a bunch of seeds (two lettuces, two chards, zucchini, beets and zinnias), and enjoyed some banana bread and peanut butter cake from Chef V.  All in all, about as perfect an afternoon as you could wish for.  (Yes, I did just end a sentence with a preposition.  And yes, I feel bad about it.)

What we did in Garden Club today.

Beautiful garden weather.

No, this is not one of Mr. Rough's crazy soup recipes.
It's compost tea.

A decent number of starts.

What we need to get planted before too long.

The Motley Garden Crue. . . errrr, sorry. . . Crew.
