Default taking chances with early plantings

it being so warm and due to be for a
week at least (in the 80sF tomorrow forecast)
perhaps i can get some sprouts up of plants
that i have many seeds for. i need to cover
some bare dirt.

first i planted one third of the onion seeds
i harvested last year. i'm going to plant
another third in a few weeks and then the last
a few weeks later.

then turnips which say to plant in early
spring. we'll see how they do. first time
i'm trying these. will plant the rest in a
few weeks.

last i put in peas to cover the side of a
small raised bed. don't expect them to do much
at all, but if they go they'll be welcome if
they can survive any remaining frosts. last
year the peas in the late summer/fall went quite
far past the initial cold spells so i'm hoping
that these will come up and have enough strength
before some cold returns.
