Almost almost spring

I just started my new seeds in their little peat...cylinders... !!  I started peppermint, creeping thyme, cilantro, basil, oregano, and tomatoes.  When it's warmer I'm going to directly sow zucchini, butternut squash, and some forget-me-nots.  What's that you say?  You recall that my lawn is almost entirely shaded, yet I'm attempting to grow full sun vegetables?  Yesss.  I'm trying to put them towards the sunniest patches, and just crossing my fingers.  I'm delaying any significant landscaping update, so a humorously futile attempt at a vegetable or two will sustain me until then.

In the meantime, these seeds have been sown for about half an hour, yet I just caught myself looking over to see if any have sprouted.
