(home) zinnia" apricot blush" and "blue point" from reneesgarden have germinated with 100& of the seeds emerging. morning glory"glacier star" has also poked up their chartreuse heads, marigold has roots forming, and dill is on the verge of sprouting.(krigsman) the weather is taking a turn for the worse, so although 62 today, tomorrows high is 48 and low is an abysmal 30! rather than planting radishes today, i will be planting them as scheduled, April 1, regardless of the weather(49 and rainy is the forecast). (my life) i have begun to write a prelude to Shakespeares "The Tempest" and have already written 2 scenes.unfortunately, homework beckons.

p.s. i planted the double impatiens in this fascinating mini-greenhouse that truly self waters through capillary action!(for those that are not earth science gurus, capillary action is the constriction of dirt particles which allows water to go against gravity and reach plant roots)
