Periodic puppy pics

I still have done nothing about getting Callie to her annual grooming. I'll be in town tomorrow morning, so I may just stop into the shop to make her an appointment. I did call the vet and scheduled Bertie's annual vaccinations for next week. Callie is still enjoying the early nice weather outdoors, lounging in the sun and chasing lizards.

In garden news, I got the tomato, eggplant, and bell pepper seeds planted yesterday. I put three seeds each in twenty-five little seed pots, a total of seventy-five seeds. Nine are eggplant, a variety I found that is supposed to grow well in central and northern France. Nine are red bell peppers, from seeds I saved from a previous crop.

The remaining fifty-seven seeds are different varieties of tomato including cornabel, cœur de bœuf, roma, juliette, and others. I planted so many to ensure that I have enough seedlings; I will certainly thin them out before they go into the garden in May. In the meantime, the little seed pots are in a warm spot indoors. First step: germination.
