As I peruse the seed catalogs...

...the s.o. is outside with a flat-bladed shovel, scraping up turf. He is roughly doubling the size of the vegetable garden. He is my hero.

Oh, and I planted a few peppers in the greenhouse, just to see if I could get away with it.

Today there was a high of 60-ish degrees outside, but I know there will be a whole lot more frozenness before all is said and done.
