Back at school. I started a bunch of seeds last night, which is pretty exciting. I'm going to have four varieties of tomato and three varieties of pepper. (Heirloom seeds! Hooray! It's totally time to plug Southern Exposure Seed Exchange.) Just about everything else that I plan to grow can wait until May, but these babies needed a head start. They're in their pots in nice damp soil. I hope they're germinating happily. Pepper and tomato seeds like to be in fairly warm dirt, and we had a cold night last night. I balanced the peppers on our yogurt maker/incubator to stay warm overnight. They're nice and toasty in the sun right now. They're so new and exciting that it's hard for me to leave them be, but there really isn't much to do yet.

My echinacea (purple coneflower) seeds want to be cold for a month or two before germinating. They're currently in a jar in our fridge with a label that says "Echinacea seeds-- DO NOT EAT!" I'm sort of worried for them, but really... they don't look that appetizing.

I'm planning to enter super-hyper-SMP mode today. My goal is to finish drafting everything by April 3rd so I can head to DC for a show and for AU's Visions in Feminism. That's two weeks. I think it'll work out. Everything will be great.
