Right now I'm watching the snow come down, adding to the foot of it we already have. The greenhouse is warm enough for the onion and leek seedlings. On sunny days it can get above 20C but at night it hovers around 4C with the heater going. My dining room windows are steadily filling with new seedlings and dahlia cuttings. I have to restrain myself so that I have enough room for everything. I put my seed orders in extra early this year and I haven't had a lot of delay in getting them but the seed companies are pushed to the limit this year. There is enough seed but it's difficult for them to keep up with demand considering the Covid restrictions that they need to follow. I know they are doing their best so if you are ordering seeds, please be patient with them. My seed order was also extra large this year because of all the new flowers I am going to try. Hopefully my seeding plan works out so that I have enough space for everything in the greenhouse. All in all, despite the pandemic changing our lives completely, I am looking forward to 2021. One more year of farming under my belt. One more year of dirty hands and beautiful produce. One more year of cultivating my dream.
