Winter Seedlings and Old Tractors

 Cold front's supposed to be on it's way out, and it is a bit warmer today, despite the wind, so I decided to fire up the tractor. I don't like to let it sit too long between startings, it is 57 years old after all. 

 I had my good friend J.C. bring her jeep over, in case I needed the tractor pulled out and jumped, which I did. After we hooked it up, it turned right over and ran smooth. It's been one of the best purchases of my life.

                                   Here's me looking puzzled, when I saw the battery was dead.

After several nights of low single digit temperatures, and howling winds, I uncovered the cold frame and had a look at the spinach

and turnip seedlings. No problem, 6 out of 7 spinach plants are slowly coming along, and the turnips are looking great. It's almost time to thin them a little. I'm surprised.
