February 9 Back 40

I don't think winter is done with us yet ....... haven't noticed any growth from the tulip bulbs ..... but the violas are blooming and a few hardy kale remain 

thought I'd do a wee bit of winter sowing ......... years ago this was a successful method of getting an early start on the season

for those new to winter sowing
