The stars of the early growing season so far here in Tucson, our San Marzano tomato plants. These things are growing like weeds. I took this shot on Sunday, and checking them this morning they're already noticably bigger. As soon as temperatures stabilize here in Tucson, four of these will go in the EarthBoxes and 2 will go to a happy home with one of my co-workers.

Project Flowers 2011
The various flower seeds we're starting are showing signs of life. I think everything but the Coreopsis is coming up. And yes, that little toothpick near the left does say Wave Petunia, and yes... we started 6 of them. We needs us some baskets.
Peppers and Herbs
The peppers finally started waking up (their seeds take a bit longer). That's them, various kinds, there on the left in that big block of plants. The herbs on the right are just confusing... the dill has gone all spindly, the parsley and thyme are fine, and the basil is just kind of sitting there.
Snowy
Weather report for this weekend said 1-3 inches of snow, possibly down to as low as 3000 feet, which would've gotten us at the house. It didn't quite dip down that low, but this was what the mountains to the northeast of us looked like Sunday morning.
Stormy Afternoon
A couple of weeks ago we had some pretty solid patch storms roll through Tucson. The rainbow shot I previously posted was from that day when I got home from work. This was another nice view of the mountains that afternoon.

Winter in Arizona
So all the folks back home in Missouri are about to get utterly dumped on today:

Shades of the almighty '82 storm (read as: the most fun a 9-year-old ever had).
Anyway, we thought we'd send out a rainbow of solidarity... or something. This was taken last night shortly after I got home from work.
