I've given up on the last of the marigold sprouts and taken the flats out from under the plastic because I have a fear of giving them "damping off disease". I don't know what that is, exactly, but I don't want them to get it, for sure.
The beets are coming up like gangbusters ... we're up to 8. They're so pretty and red.
I replaced the marigold flats with egg cartons with mint and basil. I started with the mint seeds which were impossibly small. I got all set to handle the basil with the same kind of precautions and it turns out that the basil seeds are not miniscule, so it's alright.
I managed to knock one of the marigold flats over, spewing water and soil all over the floor and our newspapers. It says something that what I am really relieved about is that the marigolds are all (apparently) OK. No pointless fretting about the handmade bookcase or indeed the books in it for me.
There is a lot of snow on the ground outside. It's very pretty, but also very snowy.
