Is Spring Coming?

Today while Brad was working on the fireplace all day, the girls and I planted a bunch of seeds for our still-to-be-designed vegetable garden. We've never gotten seeds to work before, but we're trying again.

If this works, we could have the beginnings of lettuce, broccoli, basil, peppers, roma tomatoes, big beefsteak tomatoes, currant tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes. We still need to plant, in bigger pots, the watermelon and pickling cucumbers. We also have seeds for carrots, spinach, and sweet peas. Mac has asked about 15 times today if the plants are done growing. We keep telling her it will be about a week before we see anything. She will be thrilled when it finally happens! It's still really cold, so the thought of being outside still seems like a faraway dream.
