Another season of promise is upon us.  A promise of a wonderful garden, with home-grown and -started tomatoes, peppers, annuals and perennials.  A promise that I will actually get rid of my pack-rat tendencies and really clean up the house for spring.  A promise that I will have help during this insane cleaning session.  A promise I can get the house shaped up for future entertaining during the spring and summer months.

I’m still waiting on all of them, but like spring, hope springs eternal.

The San Marzano seeds have been started and right now I’ve got a bunch of seed starting flats in various places in my living room.  Both the tomato and pepper seeds like temps of above 70F to germinate and they’re in the warmest place in the house.  I think the Balsam Impatiens are already coming up, I’ll know more when I get home from work.  The package says they’ll germinate in 3-7 days, and it’s about time.  I’ll probably be pulling the seedling rack any day now and put that by our back patio doors.  It’s about 65F in that area so once the tomato and pepper seeds start, I may put them over there.

I’ve washed just about everything in the house (aside from the pink room) in the new LG washer & dryer; it’s still fun to use!  Does that make me an appliance geek?  Or does that mean I need to tackle the pink room?  Interestingly enough, I chose the pink color for that room before I saw the name: Enchantress.  No kidding!  I’ll get a pic of the paint can top.
