First taste of success.

Well it took a couple of weeks but my lettuce has started sprouting! Only one problem. The soda bottle "squirrel protectors" I buried around the seeds - - got buried a little too deep. When I tried to move them, I uprooted all the dirt and seedlings! So I guess I shouldn't have stuck them in so far. By the way, they're working really well (other than that). They keep moisture in and the squirrels OUT. I just had to pull them all up a bit so I won't disturb the young plants when I take them off later.

Also, my onion sets and potato tubers arrived today. So I'll be planting them this weekend if we get a rain break.
