Although we were really ready for all the snow to be gone <\/em>and woke up to two more inches and falling snow this morning, we aren’t too bummed about it. After last summer’s severe drought, it’s great to see the beaver ponds overflowing and the creeks running way out into the fields and pastures. Northern Minnesota is known for cold and snow, and mosquitoes, but NOT drought! We were sure fighting to keep everything going last summer. It looks like that was just a bad dream now, with the ground squishy everywhere. My little donkey planter, in the front yard, is now totally out of the snow so we know spring is really coming after this spring snow. (Hey, out west, they got not inches but two to four feet <\/em>out of this system so we’re not complaining!)<\/p>\n

See? My little donkey planter is completely out of the snow!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even though it’s snowing outside, the seedling tomatoes and peppers are happily growing in their little greenhouses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Does anyone out there, by any possible chance, have any Venice Bootleg pepper seeds? My friend, who was helping us, packed the very last packages and they were mailed out before I realized what had happened. I love this hot pepper and sure hope I can get a few more seeds planted. I only ended up with two seeds, planted them and have one plant up. That’s scary. I’ll be very happy to buy a pack of seeds at triple the price you paid or trade for some other seeds. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
