Nothin' really... BUT I bought an African Violet to kinda heal my illness!!! My dad sowed some peas, beans, radishes, beets, and carrots!!! I have okra and gourd seeds right now. I know the swiss chard needs to go in the ground outside, but what about the okra and gourds? Can I plant them indoors in a seed starter (Jiffy's) and then transplant them?

I transplanted the four best looking brussels sprouts into their big tub, and I need to plant garlic and start some onion seeds. The tomatoes are getting tired looking. I'm going to have to pull them up soon.

got broccoli, brussel sprouts, peppers, tomatoes, soapwort, mugwort, and onion spouts coming up in my window starters.

digging out the grass for my herb and flower bed. dad is taking out all the flower beds from around the house so i'm salvaging all the bulb plants. got some of the bulbs dug up and in containers in the greenhouse. lots more to do...

dad tilled the garden rows. need to pick out the rocks and go over it again.

so.... are we gonna have snow again or are we done?!?!?! cause i'm going nutty with the grass greening up and all. so when do i plant my early stuff like peas and carrots and turnips?

3 rows of Onions 2 were planted today and 1 was set out in the fall.

Brocoli is good. One is dying though. SO that leaves me 7.

Cabbage is excellent.

Lettuce coming up.

No word progress on the carrots.......

We've got a case of peach leaf curl on our big peach tree. :( We may not get any fruit off of it this year, and are hoping the tree can survive. Any advice?
