80 degrees!

It's a hot one today and the plants are as anxious as I am. It seems
like everything is blooming overnight. With all of our flooding last
week and then the Easter weekend, I'm a little behind on my indoor
planting. I had hoped to start my zucchini and yellow squash by now.
But I think I will have to buy a set of grow lights for my lower shelf
first because the tomatoes are getting so big so fast! The butternut
squash seedlings are going strong and the pumpkins are just poking
their heads up. Here are a couple of shots of the happy seedlings
sunbathing on the porch today.

As for outdoors, I've finished planting the potatoes and onions in the
raised beds - that makes a total of 75 onions and about 54 potatoes! I
also have a ton of daffodils to plant. On Easter my uncle went to our
old farm and dug up a few clumps for me. I separated the bulbs
yesterday. There are about 115!! I've already given away about 35. I
suppose I should be a good New Englander and plant them along our
stonewall.
