Two weeks ago, I planted plants of bok choi, lettuce, arugula, and kale (spring--I've already had kale and collards growing through the winter--and eating them). They are all doing very well, as are my overwintering leeks, which I have to trim and replant to (hopefully) keep them growing and prevent them from blossoming like last year.

I have to plant potatoes, peas, shallots, and onions this weekend, as well as start seeds for summer veggies. I'm a bit behind on that task.

The daffodils and crocus are blooming, and I expect to see some strawberry blossoms in a few weeks.

This year my challenge will be to use my beds wisely in terms of space. Last year I was not very efficient and I could have grown alot more if I had planned better for seasonal plantings.

I am very, very happy to live in a mild climate.
