2014 gardening now that snow and cold is finally going away

Meh, I support my small, local farmers! Seriously, kudos to anyone who does their own gardening. For me, it's kind of like mountain biking. I like the *idea* of it, but I really don't want to do it!
Although my mom was an avid gardener, I really dislike any working in the yard. Not sure how someone who loves to sweat and work on the bike can hate the outdoor work that has to do with planting and growing.

I have raised beds - now that they are in, aside from turning them over once in the spring and once in the fall, they really aren't too much work, and the soil is loose here. It's not like where I grew up where it was back breaking if you didn't have a rototiller, because there was a lot of clay.
