a couple of weeks minimum to plant the vine crops , got

I've got two of my eight vegetable garden beds cleared and
planted. Broccoli, lettuce, and snap peas so far.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the one with snap peas
since I had to use seeds-on-hand for the snap peas with seeds
ranging from three to five years old. So far, only three
little plants are emerging, but I have hope.

Started clearing Bed #3 yesterday, but was chased in by
rain. If things clear out (and dry out some), I'll try to
get the rest of the bed cleared and planted this afternoon.
It'll have the other six broccoli plants and more lettuce.

Yesterday the first of the tomato seeds I'd started indoors
poked its leaves out of the starting mix. More should be
following over the next few days.

Making do with some old seeds and what few were purchased
before the lockdown, but at least there will be something
trying to grow out there to supplement the canned and
baked goods.

Nyssa, who has learned not to trust the weatherman, but
still got caught short yesterday by the rain that wasn't
supposed to come until nighttime
