Spring is Back!

Spring is finally back on track! Hurrah!

I checked the cloches this morning to find lettuce and spinach seedlings showing their heads. What a surprise considering the cloches were completely covered in snow only yesterday. I guess they really work.

Here's a picture of the baby lettuce through the plastic:

I'm very excited!

Even More Snow

You can't see it from the picture, but the tiny spinach shoots inside the cloche look OK. Still, when, oh when is spring going to arrive?
