Starting more seeds

Last night we started more lettuce, parsley, kale and chard seeds. We also planted the spinach seeds that have been hanging out in a damp paper towel in the refrigerator for the past few days. It is too early to tell whether the spinach seeds are going sprout fully, but it looks like they are beginning to put out tendrils. We ordered a soil blocker from Johnny's and I am looking forward to doing away with collecting plastic containers as planters. A soil blocker allows one to create semi-permanent blocks of soil which can be seeded and planted directly into the garden without the use of containers. The snow from our Winter storm last week is almost gone, but several more days of rain and snow are forecast.
