Rain isn't so bad

A lot of people don't like the rain.  It makes them depressed.  Not me, I look it as a nourishing addition to my garden.  It helps plants grow.

It looks like my indoor seedlings will have to wait another few weeks to make the transition out into the ''real'' world. With day time highs of only 9 degrees they are better off  inside for the time being.
I had my first taste of pasta with stinging nettle today...not too shabby.  I am inspired to make stinging nettle chips in the dehydrater, adapting a tried and true kale chip recipe.  Will post the results when the project is done.
