The Westport Observatory's USGS seismic equipment picked up the big M 7.5 earthquake near Neiafu, Tonga this morning. Want to know more about earthquakes — particularly those here in New England? Alan Kafka visits us in April to talk about them!

Spent some time this afternoon transplanting some of the Snap Dragon seedlings. These old hands are not very good with this fiddly stuff anymore. Also, if the Wintersmith doesn't hurry up and leave we're going to have a serious shortage of bench space in the greenhouse. Tiffany Aching where are you?

Here's my Project Feeder Watch counts for week number 21 of this season. We had 21 species and 103 individuals. The Carolina Wren was missing this week, but a Goldfinch finally showed up. Also, I'm surprised there are still so many Juncos around. This prolonged cold spring is holding them, I guess. I heard some Hawks around, but no sightings. Chipmunks provide comic relief.

Well that sure was a #boston weekend. We saw some pals and did some bike maintenance and got surprised by a little spring snow when we woke this morning. Ah, #newEngland. I put together these event roundups every weekend as a way to build community - nurture the things important to you and watch them grow. Hope you’re in good health, last weekend of March fast approaching - see you out there! #BostonWeekend

Some views of other stuff in the grow room waiting to be brought up to the greenhouse at the right time. There are also peppers, jalapeños, parsley, more lettuce, verbena, snapdragons, etc....

BeetBear reminded me that a year ago today I had to be hauled away in an ambulance because my gall bladder had burst. My daughter stepped in and kept the garden stuff going for a week or so until I recovered. ANYWAY... We started bringing stuff up into the greenhouse to make room for more stuff in the grow room. First up is the cabbage and lettuce, which is looking pretty good. Tomorrow we'll make some decisions on what comes up next.
