Yummy salad!

I planted lettuce at the end of February. The first picture was taken March 2 and the second picture was taken March 26. I cut the lettuce on March 27 and we enjoyed a fresh salad for supper that night. I should've taken a picture of it but didn't want anyone to drool too much. :p I'm looking forward to having a real garden outside.
Miss Spring is playing havoc with our emotions. The snow was a bit of a surprise this morning. Even my kids were booing it. They're tired of winter and snow too. Fortunately it's always springy in the greenhouses.
Tomorrow is our last day of scheduled walking. We welcome walkers from the beginning of January until the end of March figuring that the weather should be nice enough by then to get outside and walk! Not sure about that this week by the way Miss Spring is - fickle, can't make up her mind what she wants.
I think there must be a new batch of kittens somewhere. Princess was big and round one day, skinny and droopy the next. Soon we'll be hearing the soft little mews coming from somewhere. She likes to hide them for awhile but we usually find them once they get a little older and louder.
Today one planting crew is planting hanging baskets with various, beautiful, flowering plants and the other crew is finishing planting various odds and ends and then they will move onto peppers. On Friday, they planted geraniums all day. The early tomato plants are about 2" high awaiting much warmer weather. They don't like the cold one little bit!
