Garden is started...anyone else's underway?

Not yet, and good thing. We were having temps in the high 70s, then this last week, dropped down to freezing temps at night. I typically don't plant until Mother's Day because we have had snow at the end of April. Most people I know plant early, but they start harvesting tomatoes and peppers the same time I do, so I don't stress (and they often have to replant). Looking forward to spending time preping the garden this weekend, though.
Green Blessings to all,

Dad and I planted potatoes and bell pepper plants this week. I think it was too early to plant the bell peppers, but for some reason, Dad was impatient to get some planted! I think his mouth is watering for some stuffed peppers LOL. Aside from the bell peppers and potatoes, we're planting tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, and probably beans, melons, squash, lettuce, spinach, peas, zinnias, cosmos, batchelor's buttons and marigolds.

Today I transplanted and divided some perennials and moved them out of the old bed into the new one I'm planting. Fun, fun! I can't wait to play with the gardens some more

I'll be so glad when it dries up enough to do anything in the garden. Could be awhile, it's supposed to rain/snow most of the weekend. I'll mud around in the perennial beds. Gotta work on finishing the coop anyway. Everything sure has greened up though!
