I'm way ahead of all of you - I never stopped. That said, I've got red peppers sprouting now, along with Pride of Madeira, Calendulas, and more tomatoes (because you can never have enough tomatoes).

I'm tackling a rear-yard to garden reno right now; I'll post before and after pics when it's done.

I started cleaning up the gardening areas, but haven't gotten close to soil preparation, planting or mulching yet.

I am actually kind of winding down on many of the winter crops here: Tomatoes, peppers, etc. I'll start focusing on the tropicals that like it hot, hot, hot!

I've been working non-stop for a week:
getting the veggie beds prepared,
cleaning up other beds, cutting out dead vegetation'
planting new seeds,
buying new plants'
getting everything from the greenhouse trimmed and repotted.

Now I can relax for a bit until new seeds pop up and need to be transplanted. (or I come home with more new plants that will need to be potted up or transplanted) LOL

Now it's on to the woodworking projects that have been pushed to the back burner for so long:
bird feeder that's been half finished for 4 months,
purple martin house,
gnome home,
ladybug house,
butterfly house,
bee house,
michey mouse decor.

With the greenhouse, I've been able to putter around in the dirt the whole winter. But only able to really get out and get a lot accomplished the last 2 weeks.

I tried my hand at seeds for the first time thanks to trades with BFG and Callanh. I stayed up until 1:30 AM putting them in a seed tray Thursday night and I can't believe it but there are already a few sprouting. I'm amazed and so excited to watch the process continue.
