The bed I planted a few weeks back is doing okay. Peas and radishes look good, sort of spotty germination of a couple different types of bok choy and turnips, A small bed of beets also has spotty germination but I sowed them sort of thick so should be okay.

I moved all 3 cold frames to new locations. One has tomatoes, another cucumbers and the other a variety of melons. So far so good. It's a big jump on getting warm season plants in the ground. In one of the newer areas I transplanted in a few types of kale, thyme and rhubarb I started from seed.

Lots of volunteer lettuce, radish and red orach all over the place.

A small bed I reclaimed from dutch clover recently and planted carrots has lots of things germinating (clover?) but no carrots seen yet. I may change direction of that small area and transplant something in then find a new area for carrots.

Lots of stuff under the grow lights yet. Unfortunately I had the tomatoes too close to the high intensity bulbs. They almost died before I realized my mistake. Recovery looks ok however I might get some new starts if recovery doesn't veer towards looking good.

"lots of stuff under the grow lights yet" - definitely the case here. I consider this time of year to be "peak seedling." Brassicas are in the ground, lettuce/chard/carrots/beets all sprouting. Potatoes planted, onion and leek starts also in the ground but under a tunnel for wind protection. But all those tomatoes and peppers that I started back when the snow was falling have now been potted up twice. They go outside during the day and back in the (heated) garage at night. Then, I started the cucurbits about 10 days ago - cucumbers, pumpkins, winter squash - and they grow so fast that now they are needing bigger pots too!

Except...for four tomatoes that I crazily planted under water tipis. Two Sun Gold, two Brandywine. They came through the recent snowstorm just fine. It just makes me happy to get something into the ground on those warm, almost hot, days even though I know we are weeks from the last frost!

Season has not started for me yet. dealing with nightly freezes still

Lots of green coming out from under the plastic film.

Looks tasty, digit. Just need some tomatoes, cucumber, green onion to throw in there too.

Mother’s Day. Traditionally ok to put the tomatoes in.

Not this year…

This would be early for here @gardengrl66.

Only once do I remember having the heat-loving plants in the garden by the second May weekend. The Weather Service had me wondering what was coming up, despite our 3 days of 80 degree weather right now. Then ... they changed their minds.

No windstorm blowing our heat away. Oh, the 80's may be finished for awhile but 70's are in the forecast. May as well put the tomatoes in this afternoon. They are harden-off and the ground is ready for them. With some clouds tomorrow, it looks like any problems with transplanting shock should be minimal for the first day, anyway.

Steve Goin' for It!

I think you are right, might as well go ahead and plant. I always keep the tomatoes/peppers under water tipis until early June. It just seems to help them a little, not only from cold but from wind, which is just as much of a challenge around these parts. But I still harden them off prior to planting.

Hoping our forecast is correct - getting back into the 70's later this week and we'll have a window for planting. But this snowstorm was really something!
