Ummm... To keep a thread of reality here: This morning the temperature was 1.9 (above zero) and is now up to 19.5. Allegedly it will be up into the lower 40's upper 30's for awhile over the next 10 days, with nights down into the 'teens. If that happens it will be progress... The roofs are nearly clear of snow but we aren't seeing any ground yet.
However, indoors, my first seedling with a sign of true leaves appeared this morning!
(yes, I inspect everyone with the jeweler's loupe at least once a day when we get to this point -- no, I'm not an addict)
