The sun is climbing and you can feel it getting stronger by the day, but nights are FREEZING and there's so much snow. So, this arugula is really ahead of schedule, I haven't transplanted it yet. So we'll see if this survives and starts growing out when it's finally in the ground... Normally, arugula is ready to pick in 30-40 days, so with this batch, that'd be early April. I was hoping we'd be eating it any day now... Deborah: Here in Ontario, winter’s really hanging on this time around.

Weather here is warming too (15°C plus some rain) but I was outside for a while in t-shirt and thermal vest! I'm even thinking about sowing a few seeds and hoping that the soil dries out enough to be able to dig it before the plants need to go in.
