Pet and Plant Updates
Since I don't have much in the way of winter interest in my garden yet other then this dwarf arctic blue willow..... I'm going to stay focused on the inside today. My old gal Sasha is in for surgery today, so while the dog is away, I've been doing a bit of spring cleaning. getting rid of a godawful amount of dog hair from the couches and all that. Just seemed like a good idea to do it now while I have no dog under foot. I found a billion cat toys hiding in various places and now both cats are in seventh heaven right now.
Buttons is doing swell. He's grown a bit and he's learning to use a litter box. He loves his yellow ball toy. He has a pink one two but he refuses to play with that one.
Plant updates--- Look at that catnip grow!
And the daylilies too.
These are the rose seed sprouting baggies. As you can see, there are still a lot of extras in there. But that's OK, the extras have come in handy as I've had to replace a few due to damping off. I gave the seedlings a dose of hydrogen peroxide and water solution yesterday to stop the problem. That's the trouble with rose seedlings....extremely susceptible to that.

The rose seedlings are growing.
New things under the lights. Broccoli is already sprouting, despite planting them just yesterday morning.
Hostas aren't doing much. They've been like this for a couple weeks now.

The rose seedlings are growing.
I can't forget the peppermint! Just think of the tea.....

Hee hee! My cats loooove my shoelaces. I always make a point of flinging laces around when I tie my shoes so we can have a quick playtime.
Wow, everything is growing great, my mint took forever to grow last year and I had to try several time.
You have really started a lot of seedings! I am trying to start my very first vegetable and herb garden this spring and am ready to plant them all into my little peat pots inside but the seed packets said to wait until April - arg! Should I wait that long or should I start planting some now? All I have planted so far are my peas and lettuce. I have mint seeds as well, but wasn't sure when to start them. I am in Indianapolis, IN - any advice?
SusyQ, you are in a warmer climate then I am, so you should certainly start cool season crops now like cabbage and broccoli! you can wait another week or two for peppers and eggplant, and then a couple weeks after that get your tomatoes started.
