General notes

1) We started our seedlings a little later than last year, they are looking good. Probably transplanting tomatoes outside in the next week.

2) Bed of lettuce and peas has been out for three weeks. We had them covered by a cold frame, which saved them for last week's late frost. But now they are free and exposed.

3) Yesterday (May 1) we planted peas and sweet peas near the trellises on the side of the house; radishes, kale, carrots and beets in the regular garden; and turnips in the new raised bed (filled with compost) we can't get turnips to grow in the regular garden, so we're hoping the raised bed is the trick. Last night it rained steadily for several hours, so if it is warm this week, those seeds will be popping!
