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

In the ground already: Tomatoes, cukes, grean beans, peas, zuchini, yellow squash, hubbard squash, onions, garlic, blue berry bushes, nectar tree, 2 plum trees. Should weather permit, will plant sweet pumpkins, lettuce, spinach, rutabeggas, watermelons, cantaloupe, beets, sweet and regular taters, and carrots over the next few days.

Got mine!

Tomatos, cucumbers, straight neck (was supposed to be crook neck, but this is what happens when you send OTHER people after your seeds.), zuchini, okra, corn, watermelon, green peppers, potatos, speckled purple hull peas, butter beans, lima beans... and I think that's it.
 
Here's what I have:
1/4 acre of plowed ground (that still needs to be smoothed a bit, lots of lumps)

1 bag of sweet pea seed
Kale seed
Mesclun Mix seed
Sunflower seeds

Planning to get:
Several kinds of tomatoes
sweet corn
Okra

Herbs:
Oregano
peppermint
dill
rosemary
fennel
parsley
Basil (3 types)
 
We planted ours Sat.

22 tomato plants - 6 Big Boys, 6 Centennial, 4 Homestead, 6 Roma
6 California Wonder Sweet Bell Pepper Plants
3 Jalapeno Plants
3 Cayenne Pepper Plants
2 rows of Squash
2 rows of Zucchini
2 rows of Cukes
2 rows of Cantaloupe
 
not wanting to mislead anyone, I should have said mine are in flats, inside as its snowing (still) while the snow is melting and mushy, big, wet, flakes...just to make Spring look Clean;) LOL And, it'll all have to go inside the green house, too, most likely w/a heater...
 
We planted Tomatoes, Peppers and Eggplant on Sunday, then we got hit by a late frost! Who ever heard of a frost in CA in APRIL?! Luckily, they were all ok. We'll be planting many varieties of squash, watermelons, Okra, beans, beans and more beans, corn, pumpkins and whatever else looks fun!
 
My lettuce and is sprouting, I planted spinach and beets also and some scallions (found some of those coming up that I missed last year).

In the basement "greenhouse" my tomatoes, Italian white sunflowers, hostas and gaillardias are up but my peppers seem to be taking their sweet time.

I just bought broccoli seeds though I said I wouldn't since they were a disaster last year. (can you say cutworm?)

Couple more weeks I'll plant some zukes and cukes in peat pots in the basement to give them a head start. But nothing fragile goes outside till after Memorial Day. Living in Zone 4 is such an adventure!

AH but in February I still had 2 feet of snow on the ground. And this 70 degree weather is highly unusual, should be in the 50s up here and it's dropping to the 40's Monday with snow forecast!

Last year I tried planting my lettuce and spinach at the end of March and it was destroyed. I waited till April 14th this year.

sd - fingers crossed
 
We get our new tiller on Friday (old one shot craps) but still to muddy to even walk in the garden let alone till it. This weather is soooooo frustrating. It has stormed off and on so much that my coop is 1/2 done and my yard has puddles everywhere. And now I hear next week we are suppose to get a frost and possible freeze so no garden till after that
