i was going to post about

early birthday presents
but decided not to
instead i am going to ask you folks about your garden.
bernie took down my seed starting area last winter and didn't get it put back together so i am really struggling at what i have space (window space) to start now.
this is also the FIRST YEAR EVER i got damping off!
i lost the pot of orient express eggplants!
i want a greenhouse...... i want a semi attached one i think
how do you folks do your seedlings?
as you've seen in previous years i normally use two florescent lights side by side which gives me a light space of about 2' wide by a bit over 4' long
i am wondering for next year if i should assemble a seed starting space in the basement for everything except pepper seedlings

i also found a lot of garlic coming along out in the garden that i thought we'd lost over the winter, as well as the multiplier onions and the walking onions.
(and a tick but that's another story)
i can't believe i am saying this but......we need some rain again....
not hard rain, just a few days of gentle misty sprinkling kind
so my plants will sprout

i am also realizing that the studio is due for a re-arranging......the computer needs to be much closer to where i draw, to keep the reference materials on the screen instead of having to print it out

oh yeah it's spring
i got spring fever
i am doing spring cleaning

even the animals have spring fever, amelia took a SHOWER under the drips from the small bath that bernie was holding in the air to rinse.....
yup they all got it bad
hahahahahaha

btw, amelia and prudence are real charactors....... especially that amelia....
i need to get some video for you guys
i wish i had gotten the shower on video cause i laughed so hard at her
