I turned over one of the beds this morning, and seeds for scattered peas, green beans, borlotti beans, and cowpeas, and also onion starts in the turned soil. It's ridiculously warm here for mid-winter (about 69F) and the carrot seeds that I scattered in the other bed in the fall have sprouted and are spreading their feathery stems everywhere. I should get some broadbean/fava been seeds and get them started in time for late March planting -- I think this year I need to start everything at least 3 weeks earlier than I normally would. I should probably get more cowpea and pole bean varieties too, maybe some smaller squashes...

Also, I tried the waffle-maker one of my friends gave me for Christmas -- it's going to take a bit of work finding a small enough recipe for just me, and then figuring out what the ideal setting on the waffle iron is so I get crispy waffles.
