Well, here are a few pictures of some of the seedlings I was talking about in my last blog.
Above is an example of the peat pots I use to transplant my larger seedlings into once they outgrow the seed things I started them in.
Above are the seedlings that I thought I started only a short while ago and they sprouted very quickly!! I am happy that they sprouted fast, I just love seeing them!
Boy o' boy, I've made a mess!! I have a 17 month old little girl and she gets into everything, so I have to keep everything up off the floor. It gets kind of cluttered sometimes.
Above is my Malva Zebrina that is struggling to make it. I was so happy when I noticed the new little leaf started!
Above is one of a few hollyhock seedlings. I am so happy they are working! I wonder though if I will get any flowers out of them this year?? Any ideas?

The weather is quite strange this week. Tonight I think it may have froze again. I wonder when our proper last frost date is going to be this year!? I looked it up online and it said April 1-April 30th. That really wasn't much help, I think I could have guessed better than that. We had a major rain yesterday afternoon with thunder and lightning (strange for this early in the year though). It was so nice to get some moisture. We really have had mostly cold and gray weather, not much rain this year (still more spring to come however, so we shall see). Today was warm if you got moving around (i.e. digging and raking, walking my daughter in her stroller), but still too cold to wear anything less than a warm sweat shirt. I can't wait for it to warm up. Just a little is all I am asking for, tehe-hehe. I know that as soon as it gets scorching I will be complaining about how hot it is though....hummm...
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great rest of your week! More updates later!
