Worse, it is now absolutely time to do the planting for warm-season vegetables, and we are not ready!
Around the Garden, 5/2/08Cabbage and collard transplants are getting larger- though we'll see if I get any cabbage heads this spring.
A few peas have finally come up, and have been supplemented with some donated transplants.
This crop is sort of a let down- you plant it super early but then have to wait until the summer to eat it. :(
Kale planted from seed is getting larger (so are the weeds).
A different variety of kale, grown from transplant. Covered or not, it gets eaten by something.
The strawberry transplants are looking healthy. One is even flowering, but you can't see it here.
The garlic is looking really healthy. Only a few more months before harvest!
Tomato babies have been transplanted and protected from the cold.
Extra tomato and pepper babies are sitting out to get the sun.
All in all, things are looking very hopeful!
To do next time:
Clean up the sloppy job I did at planting potatoes, cucumbers, and beans, and decide whether I'm going with newspaper mulch or plastic as a weed barrier.

Oh, yes, gardening is hard work. After this first flush of spring weeds they will slow down. Hang in there. :) If your plants are being eaten when they are covered it could be slugs/snails coming out of the soil at night. I used Diatomaceous Earth last year and it helped. I bought mine at the seed store. It is a natural product, tiny sea animals. Don't breath the dust, though.
I noticed some of your text is not clearing the photos. If you want help with that let me know.
