in the garden: March

well, after a nearly fishless ice fishing day yesterday -- but nice red sunburns from the blinding white landscape of the reservoir -- todd and i are turning our attentions to the garden. it's past time to start onions, so we're looking around for flats to get the onion seed going. we've got copra, biana di maggio, and mars varieties.

other plants we're going to start in flats today include conquistador celery and florence fennel. todd's already started broccolis, maybe a little too early. it will be interesting to see how we keep them alive and growing for another 2 1/2 months. in the cold frame, we're going to start the first batch of radishes (cherry belle) and beets (red ace), and we'll add some more greens to the cold frame as well.

we made some gobi parathas today for breakfast and i'm on my third cup of tea. time to get out my pjs and into the garden! the sun's out and the highs are in the low 40s.
