Spring is close...Seed-starting Day

Well, this weekend couldn’t come soon enough.  I planned out my garden weeks ago and bought my seeds from my trust Jung Garden Center online.  Back-tracking from planting date to the first planting, this weekend marks the beginning of Spring for me.  Today was peppers and parsley.  Here’s a recap of my morning so far…and
