Has anyone planted yet? Any brave soles willing to chance the frost
date? This has been the longest winter ever and I am ready to get my
hands dirty !

My daughter and I planted our summer flowers last Sunday. I'm ready to
take the chance. We put in petunias, geraniums, phlox, gerbera daisies,
and several other things. Good luck.

Sugar snap peas planted 2/19 are two inches high and look healthy.
Some of the seeds were current, some were dated 2006, but there was good
germination all 'round.

Tomato and eggplant seeds were planted in peat pots a week ago and will
be nurtured indoors for the next ~six weeks.

The weeds are doing well. Too well!

Sugar snaps up 2-3 inches. Chard, spinach, beets(need thinning),
onions are all up.

Looks like I had crop failure on potatoes. If I don't see any by
Monday I am giving up - 4 weeks since planting. Some were spoiling
when I planted. I expected to see at least a few hills by now.

Yay for spring!!! It is still very cold, though. I want to plant some gerberas too. Where can I get it?
