Its a little hard to see, but we have a few Lemon balms in one of theses, a few Lavenders in another and a few rosemary in the third. The herbs seem slow to sprout, save for that basil
.Some tomatoes. I started out with 100 seeds, but about 28 plants are making it at this time. Though, if I have 28 full grown tomato plants, I 'll have so many tomatoes that I'll be swimming in them.
Some more tomatoes. I have Big Boy, Hillbilly and maybe one or two Purple Heavans.
Bad shot of my Cantelopes and Eggplants. These are ready to transplant.
Onions and yellow squash
cabbages.
One of the cabbage jugs has a plant growing up inside the handle. 
Celery, ready to transplant.. Somewhere!
I saved this pepper plant from the frost last year, and I have a spring pepper.
outdoors, a tub full of repotting mix, just did a dozen zucchinis. I'm trying to get my zucchinnis and yellows producing early, so i am giving them a big start.
Gad Zuchs!
I use a lot of recycled containers for my pots. Water jugs cut in half, yougurt cups, really anything I can get my hands on that I don't have to pay for.
Bloomsdale long standing spinach
Swiss Chard My Foot!
The Snow Peas have Sprung.
yard Violets. i has them.
Spinach!
This is my cold frame. Its empty right now, since a big storm is coming this weekend and we may get snow. Its very simple, just 4 poles with plastc staple gunned to them, the poles are sunk into the groud and the plastic is wieghted right now with wood and mud, hoping that it won't sail away in the storm this weekend. It also channels benevolent energy from the eye of hourus to the plants via its pyramidical structure. Psych!
The seedlings are covered with sheets. I have no rocks here, so i use old bottom sheets and fill the ends with mud. This holds them down when the 50 -60 MPH winds that spell SPRING around here come through. The sheets will protect them from driving rain in the bad storms, as well as blistering sun on the bright days, untill they are strong enough to hold their own. The hay makes walkways for me on the muddy days, as well as serves as a blanket when the temps go below 30 at night to keep the cold hardy but still freezable plants alive.
The Potato bed: this year it going to be a raised bed, that will be contained by pallets that we will cut up and wire together. The compost has been spread and laid, next we will build the walls, and then add topsoil and potatoes. The compost is a rich mixture of nitrogen heavy greens, horse manure, hay, and a special ingredient.
I can't wait for those Potatoes! Mmmmmmm!
