Default Waiting for warmer weather

Today I started 160 tomato seeds. I have them inside to germinate
since I don't feel like keeping the heat high enough in the greenhouse
for germination. Right now I have over 400 seedlings in the
greenhouse waiting for slightly warmer weather. I have onions,
cabbage, broccoli, broccoli rabe, beets, chard and rhubarb. There are
also a few lettuce seedlings. I have had very poor germination with
lettuce except for my red romaine.

My next project is to plan the garden layout. And then do a second
till to try to get the soil usable for beets. Then I will plant some
peas and lentils.

Anyone else have anything going on now?


My tomato and pepper seedlings are almost big enough to go outside now! (I
live in zone 8 or 9.) I've planted lettuce, spinach, onions, and carrots
outside. The cutest thing is that this winter I changed the placement of my
raised beds, adding permanent wood boxes over where the old beds used to be,
and the other day I discovered a crooked row of garlic I had planted and
missed last year, now growing in one of the pathways between boxes! It's
getting walked on, but it still looks pretty good.
