Missed the Sunday night report, darn it.
But what do you have safely in the ground? I have planted the asparagus, one lone broccoli (got interrupted, and not got back) strawberries, onions, and a grape vine.
My goal this year is to plant greater variety, lesser amounts and to mulch heavily.
How are your plans going?

18 broccoli plants out, onion sets in (I mulched over them and hope they reach through), planted lettuce, beets, carrots, kale, and radishes. Nothing up yet.

All the cool weather crops: peas, beets, carrots, chard, perpetual spinach, radishes, kale, lettuce, broccoli (8 plants and 6 direct sown), onions. Most everything is coming up except carrots. I have red and green romaine, summertime (head for hot weather), and a variety of iceberg that does pretty well here.
Wow, I have more done than I thought.

I've got carrots, beets, kale, fava beans and chard. Plus 2 volunteer tomato plants.
Still too cold for most everything.
Asparagus and spinach came up, but they were planted last year.

Same here - only cold weather crops in: lettuces, kohlrabi, bok choy, mizuna, komatsuna, tatsoi, senposai, New Zealand spinach, scallions, and garlic. Plus some herbs, and perrenials I don't have to think about!
Next week, weather permitting, tomatoes go in!

we had an odd 76 degree day yester, and I had all good intentions to get down to the garden, didn't...
I have spread the sluggo and some of mumseys mix
overwintered onions from last year that were slow to get going, self seeding flowers, leeks are getting huge
the squash & melon bed is ready - (half assed) - I have some new stuff to try this year. I really wanted that cantelope from Renee's - maybe I can find a start around
for me here in Willamette valley everything can go in now, weather wize; it's merely a matter of getting `er done

Just the cold weather stuff in here too - peas, spinach, lettuce, radishes, Swiss chard, onions, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Tomatoes and peppers are outside in their pots during the day and inside at night. They will not get planted until closer to May 15.
Asparagus is really starting to send up some spears although they are still short and I have only harvested 3 so far and I ate those right in the garden.
Rhubarb is up too but that's not such a big thrill for us. I make a couple of desserts with it and then we are done.
Colder weather is supposed to end this week and we are expecting 70's next week so I may get my seed potatoes cut and get they ready for planting over the weekend. They take several weeks to send up shoots above ground anyway and the soil is warm now so even if we get a frost, they will be protected. Last year I planted potatoes on May 10 and that is only a few days away. |

I have a volunteer black seeded simpson lettuce that I am now picking, and a swiss chard that wintered over, that we are eating from. It's huge!
Fall planted garlic is 10"
Onions are in.
I seeded lettuce (2 kinds), swiss chard, red russian kale, gold beets and peas.
All are up.

Got all my fences in, does that count? Just did the pole bean fence today, had to re-locate it due to the new fence we put up around the yard. Didn't want to pick bean vines out of chain link! So the bean fence ended up being shorted by 5 ft., seems it gets shorter every year! But just the 2 of us I don't can as many. The remaining 5 feet got cut in half and made into plant supports (and doggie blockers).

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow...
Okay, actually, it's onions, peas, lettuces, mustards, and tomatoes growing here. Yellow straightneck squash goes in today and bush beans next week.

Onions, peas, spinach and beets are in. Volunteer Cilantro is coming up everywhere. I'm not doing Broccoli this year. I have a couple of pumpkins but they are in the house along with the peppers and tomatoes. The extra bedroom is getting a little crowded with all the plants.

I have had my WOW up for more than 2 weeks, and the toms inside were getting big, they went in those tonight.
I am trying hard to do one thing after school.

I will likely get a few tomatoes out in WOWs this week. I will save most for mid to late May though.

I have lettuces and broccoli, beets and a few chard.
Peas are about 8", but my snow peas keep getting munched down, hopefully - they will make it through but they are looking ragged, and only 2" tall - they were bigger than the reg peas in the beginning!
Been harvesting the sorrel for smoothies, and the lemon balm.
My kale didn't make transplant - I never got more in there.
