Come Saturday Morning: The Year of the Tomato

It’s the first week of March up here at the forty-fifth parallel, and I’m starting some tomato plants from seed. I’ve got them in one of those plastic vented carriers for roast chicken; the lid’s been popped to show you the seedlings, but it went right back on again after this photo was taken.

If all goes well, I’ll transfer the survivors into bigger containers in about a month or so, by which time the weather might have warmed enough to allow them to go outside. I intend to be up to my eyeballs in tomatoes round about August. I’ll keep you posted.

So what unbearably exciting things have you been up to this week?
