Seeds going in the ground this week!
Finally! I've been waiting since February!
Some time this week/weekend we'll be planting carrots, peas, radishes, spinach and chard.
Anyone else planting stuff this week?
ETA: I'm Zone 5a
Re: Seeds going in the ground this week!
I've already put some veggies in containers. I'm in zone 6b. Our temps last week were in the 80's & 90's and dropped to the 60's by Fri and the weekend and so far all my seedlings are doing well.
Here are my seedlings/transplants:
Tomato (unknown from last year's crop)
Eggplant
Chard
Sugar snap peas
Squash
Cucumber

WE'VE BEEN MATCHED WITH A SWEET LITTLE BOY!! -4/5/11
My garden update - the bareroot strawberries were a BUST. I bought new plants from the nursery.
Tomato and pepper plants are already in the SFG! Yay! My spinach FINALLY took off, and I will be harvesting romaine leaves for salad this week.
My seed-started lettuce seedlings are adjusting fairly well.
My potted strawberry plant (it was planted last year) is BURSTING with blooms. My daughter and I are so excited. She counts all the strawberry blooms and gives me an update. LOL
I'm trying to be patient with my cosmos seeds. They've not sprouted yet. I direct sowed them and some zinnia seeds. The zinnia seedlings sprouted quickly!
My herb seeds have not sprouted in my pots yet either. I'm beginning to think I just really suck at seed starting.
