Default spring garden notes

ventured out to check vegetable garden today .......I'm in michigan and
this is first day this year temp has risen above 50°
i covered carrots with a large amount of straw last fall.... could only
find a handful of about 10 or 12 pounds that i was expecting to find. looks
like the mice?? got most of them.


tilled mucho horse manure into soil last fall and covered with wheat
straw..........lots of wheat berries in the straw and it grew few inches
before it got real cold......i read that wheat was an annual and that the
wheat would die off by spring........but that did not happen......


soil is still wet, thought not soggy.....is it ok to plant peas and
lettuce? TIA.............
