Then it looks like thing will warm up into the upper 60's.

I've starting pepper, tomato and herb seeds, inside. Pretty soon I'll start the squash.

...cat grass (but not catnip, lest she become a junkie); the cat grass keeps her busy through most of the summer.

She is decidedly not good with plants.

We have to be careful with indoor plants though, and all are placed in places she can't get.
