And I thought spring was here at last?

This aloe baby (bottom right) is a little miracle. Miracle because I have never been able to grow aloe plants and I have managed to keep this sucker alive for over a year now! And it is giving birth too! Yeah me!

This past weekend found me sowing the seeds for this year's garden. I am trying my green thumb at starting some tomato plants from seeds this year. I sowed two different kinds called Early Girl and Big Beef. Several of the plants, should they sprout, are promised to friends and the remaining will be planted in the courtyard. I hope to freeze diced tomatoes for bruschetta, salsa and marina over the winter. Of course if Grammy knew I was planning to freeze them she would tell me that canning them is the way to go.....
Anyway I found these tomato starters. I use the smaller ones for the other seedlings. These suckers triple their size once you add water to them. Its almost magical.

I also sowed some basil, cilantro, and GrandPaw (Jasmin's Grandpaw sent seeds to Poo and Kiki for Christmas) Catnip.
Below is a saucer of oat grass seeds. Kiki will be soooooooooooo happy when these suckers sprout. I wish Poo would eat it.....
