In this race to the sky who will be the tortoise and who will be the hare

So it is that special time of year again when seeds are beginning to sprout and tree buds begin to swell. I have begun to plant my seeds for this summer and i thought it was time to show you the first sprouts of the year which are a tray of Roma Tomato's. Peppers and Tomatoes are the first seeds that must be started indoors in early April so that they can be well established when they are transplanted out at the end of may early June. Once these seedlings which are growing rapidly are taken out of the seedling tray i will replace them with Broccoli seeds which need less time indoors and can be transplanted slightly earlier in may since they can better tolerate cool temperatures. Over the next few weeks i will be posting further on my planting and the progress of the plants as they graduate into my greenhouse. The other pictures are of the buds of my plum tree on top, pear tree second and my peach tree above the seedlings. which barely survived the winter but will hopefully do better this summer as they are a very difficult fruit to grow in Ontario unless your in the far south of the province.
