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?

I'm watching the snow melt - well not today. When the night temps stay out
of the single digits (or below 0) for a week - will think that spring is
finally on the verge of breaking out.

Have the packages dated for starting - tomatoes, Melons, Brussels Sprouts,
marigolds, stqrflowers, shallots, dahlias.
