The field was still a slushy mess this afternoon, so we took this opportunity to stay inside and get some seeds started. We started a tray of pumpkins, watermelon, and beets that we'll keep watered and healthy until about May 1 when we'll be safe from frost and can plant them in the garden. We have a few more things to get started inside (chard, turnips, kale and lettuces, in particular), but we'll get to that in the next couple of weeks. Other stuff, like the corn, carrots and radishes we'll sow directly in the garden when we move the seedlings later in the spring. Thanks to everyone that came today, but especially to Mr. V for everything he does, and Larry who was the photographer of the day.
Don't forget, spring break is next week so no Garden Club until we return.

| Today's snack - chocolate raspberry cake with a butter cream icing. |

| Yum! |

Jack and his table mates discussing how many seeds to put in each
starter. . . I think. Or, maybe they were discussing the upcoming snack.
I'm not sure. |

Larry hates getting his picture taken, but they always
turn out so well. I just can't help it. |
