3rd day of snow today... and its not even ice pellets or whatever... its real snow. I guess Easter and Christmas have equal odds of being snowy :(

Anyhow, not much going on outside.

The kids seeds were kinda slow, but some are popping up today, almost 6 days later.

I noticed a grower diary where someone is trying using manure to warm the soil beneath the pumpkin. I tried something like this, and I I think this could work in theory, but lack of oxygen, and the carbon dioxide, could monkey with the roots. Roots actually do need oxygen, pretty much the same as any animal does, soil without oxygen isnt much of a recipe for plant life.... with the exception of a rice plant or something adapted to no oxygen. Anyhow, its a cool idea, but the plant may not too well unless it has an abundance of roots right at the soil surface...?
