I'm back...for another attempt

It has been a while. I had lost interest in plants for a while and they all died. Big surprise, since I failed to water them.

It's a new year and a new attempt. My cat watched me very closely as I worked, because she knows the futility of it all. Or because I could have been paying attention to her and not a bunch of dirt and seeds.

It's spring here in New England, but you would believe it only on some days. For every 70-degree day, we get three 50-degree days. Or so it seems. We even got a dusting of snow and frost a few days before Easter. My neighbor, who does have a green thumb, already has flowers blooming. On those cold nights, she put blankets over the most fragile flowers to help protect them from frost.

So. I have some mini sweet peppers, grape tomatoes, and Campari tomatoes. I took the seeds out a few of them and planted them in potting soil in an egg carton. I also took the bulb end of celery and placed it in water.

I will keep these inside for a while. Or forever. We'll see.
