A Different Sort of Grow Operation

Spring has sprung

Nothing says spring in the Valley, and generally throughout Squarebanks than the grow operations that are springing up everywhere; some are fairly fancy with banks of shops lights, seed starter, 4-packs, cells and flats. Many are yogurt & cottage cheese containers and anything else that can hold some soil and a seed - crowding window sills and sunny floor spots and anywhere a little plant can get a ray of sun.

I am, of course, talking about the annual rite of spring - starting the garden indoors.

Nice 'before' chicken pictures. It must be very unpleasant hanging out in that coop at 40 below - guess the birds get cabin fever, too.
