Feb. 12:  Chilies from the first batch have been coming up throughout the week. The first batch of tomatoes also are up.

I planted some more bell peppers and some cabbage in the greenhouse and some lettuce outside. Garlic had come up outside so I thinned it. I noticed that something has been mowing my leeks off at the ground so I covered them up o give them a chance to grow. They have made a coule of inches of progress already.
