All is well here, thanks, but like you I'm just about ready to see the backside of winter. Today was lovely and sunny, though cold, and I would have liked to get out and walk, but the trails through the woods are too icy-snow-encrusted to travel without running the risk of ankle damage. So right now I'm just sowing seeds and enjoying my indoor sprouts as time allows. I did dig a new access path to a late winter feeding station today, but that's about all I did outdoors. I must start putting the sunflower seeds there from now on, otherwise I'll have squirrels and chipmunks still looking for food on the deck come time to set out seedlings. It's a small thing, I know, but every little bit of possible prevention helps.
Sounds good on the zinnias. I want to start some earlier this year, so I'm thinking about using my 8' long under-rug warming mat to start some of these heat-lovers in about a month or so. I would think that eight feet of mat would be able to start and grow quite a few seedlings, so I'm pretty psyched to try it out.
