Seedlings, Season Starters

It's not possible to do much gardening outdoors yet, but recycled yogurt containers, a soil blocker, and florescent lights enable me, impatient as I am to get my hands in the dirt, to jump start the season.

Kale and collards seedlings are ready to be planted in the garden next week.
Other seedlings will spend time in the greenhouse to continue growing under protection.
Tomato and pepper seeds, sewn today, will be ready for transplanting after the last frost. 

Winter's snow and ice are still a foot high in some areas; temperatures continue to dip into the teens at night; and there's snow in the forecast. Seedling greenery serves up the first course of spring's delicacies.
