In Great News...

We hit over 600" this year for snowfall in Utah. We had a great storm last night that brought a lot of snow. Alta reported over 15". We are at 610" for the year so far, with more coming (supposedly) Tuesday. If only I could ski on this ankle. Gosh. Dang. It.

Whoa...

The first seedlings are up. I was planning on posting progress in about a week from planting, but it's only been four days. I noticed the watermelon was up this morning:



When I got around to taking a picture of it this evening (just now), I opened the lid and saw that the spinach had a little seedling showing up as well:





These plants weren't supposed to germinate for at least another 2-3 days- at the very earliest. Holy hannah.

UPDATE: As of this morning, more watermelon and spinach are up as well as the chives and onion- wow! This is exciting!
