Started Seeds

I started some seeds in the ground and our outdoor winter sowing containers today. Into the ground went sugar snaps, lettuce (mesclun and romaine), and spinach. I'm trying the catmint and sweet woodruff in a starter box. I have absolutely no confidence in seeds; it's too much of a miracle I think.

I think I really messed up by piling the leaves in the bed. The hitchhiking acorns are all sprouting which I think we can clear out pretty easily but then I noticed all the elm helicopters and I think that might really be a mess. Live and learn; maybe it won't be too weedy of a mess.

Otherwise, dirt looks great. Nice and sunny today; bees are out and I'm hoping they are taking their feed.
