Let the Planting Begin

I hope we are finished with the really cold weather now. The weather the past few days has been sunny and progressively warmer. Yesterday was warm and sunny and I spent the day transplanting broccoli, cabbage, and brussel sprout seedlings (see first pic above). My lettuce is growing nicely with all of this mild weather. I have moved the plastic off of the hoop to keep the small plants from warming up too much (see second pic above). I harvested some of my top setting onions yesterday for green onions. I planted my peas about a week ago, but they have not germinated yet. If the weather stays warm, I might take apart my cold frame for the year. I have cucumbers and pepper plants still growing in the the cold frame. I cheated this year and bought some of my seedlings from a local nursery. I bought "Sweet Banana" pepper, "Hot Banana" pepper (I am trying this for the first time this year), and "Super Chili" pepper. I will be buying my "Roma" tomato seedlings soon. In about another 2 weeks it will be time to plant warm season seedlings (peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.) out into the garden.
