It’s only been 2 – maybe 2 1/2 – days!

This morning, when checking on the Wild Bunch winter squash seeds, I spotted one seed with a root showing.

By this afternoon, there were several more.

So I potted them up.

So far, it’s 6 out of 25 seeds, but I can see that the rest will start germinating very quickly.

Outside, the rain finally settled into snow, and we’ve got a light dusting of it out there right now. We’re just getting the tail end of a system that dropped a foot of snow, elsewhere in the country! The only thing I’m really concerned about outside is the saffron crocuses. I took their mulch off and the ground they were growing through was still frozen, but I’m not sure how the newly exposed leaves will handle these temperatures.

They are now saying tomorrow will have a high of -1C/30F, but the day after is supposed to reach a high of 10C/50F!

Until then, it’s a good time for inside stuff – like getting the germinated seeds planted in pots!
