Slug-fest Update + Where R U Spring?!

YESSSSS!!  One slug down, god knows how many more to go!!! I don't know if the booze lured him in or not but he's dead and a little frozen.  That's all that matters.

Garden Update: February Seed Starting + Slug-fest

It's been COLD!!  I haven't really been out in the garden because of the weather.  I really hate the cold.  I can't wait for spring.  But I'm always excited about starting seeds during the winter and Feb. seems to be one of my busiest seed starting months.

I bought a seedling heat mat with my Park Seeds gift certificate from my sister-in-law and brother!!  At the beginning of January, I started swiss chard and Thai eggplant. They sprouted mid January. The seed mat has been keeping them nice and warm. Towards the end of January, I started my kale and Asian greens (kailan and komatsuna).
