I'm in Michigan and slightly crazy but I started my spring gardening about four weeks ago. Last year I waited until May to plant peas and spinach and they didn't do well for me at all.

I had some Little Fingers carrots, swiss chard and Merveille des Quartres Saisons lettuce plants overwinter this year...crazy for here! BUT...we have very sandy, well-draining soil and had a lot of snow cover this year so I'm not completely shocked.

I've had my cabbage, kale, collard, Buttercrunch lettuce and turnips greens out for at least three weeks (all transplants I started) and my peas have been up now for about 2 weeks. LOTS of lettuce, spinach transplants and seeded spinach, Bull's Blood Beet transplants, and my beet and chard seeds are coming up along with some more carrot seeds sprouting. Oh, mustard greens and radishes! And garlic and shallots that I planted last fall have been up for at least 6 weeks and growing

Two weeks ago I put out my onion sets and the onion seedlings I started.

There were four nights I actually covered up the cabbage/cole crop bed but I let the other stuff just hang in there with some of the frosts and it all did fine. I've been planting and seeding a little of it every weekend for about a month.

I'm going to harvest some lettuce and mustard greens this weekend I do believe

Lots of good stuff for the chicks out there too

It's touchy for tomatoes, cukes, melons, squash and peppers here though...I can't even think about those until at least Memorial Day. I just got my seed potatoes in the mail so have to get a couple of beds ready for them this weekend. We do intensive raised bed planting. The sandy soil is so not-fertile that I have to add mass amounts of organic stuff to get it to hold any water at all.

I've been planting bare-root roses and berries (raspberry and blackberry) last month and have some blueberry bushes in pots on the deck waiting to go in the ground. I've got to get my strawberry bed ready this weekend too and will be planting 50 plants. I have to move my pepper and tomato and eggplant seedlings up into bigger pots this weekend and WEED WEED WEED...

I'll be crippled in bed with some ibuprofen Sunday night

I am in southern California. This video is almost a month old now. Everything in my garden is twice as big. I already harvested broccoli, carrots, lettuce, spinach, turnips, peas, green beans, zucchini, chives, bell peppers, and even a couple tomatoes. I need to make another video soon.

OK - - - so you have strawberries .

I have given 8 grocery bags of lettuce to my co workers in the last week. I harvested 4 lbs of spinach tonight. Also, I harvested about 4 lbs of beets.

My squash leaves are sooooo large they remind me of dumbo's ears. My bean plants are taking over the walk way.

I LOVE GARDENING.

I have given away 6 extra basil plants and 10 extra tomatoe plants.

We have gone from famine to feast.

My blueberries should be ripe soon. Between the blackberries and blueberries - --

MAYBE VFEM and I should make a trade. She could make some blackberry cobbler and I would be able to make some strawberry pie.

WOW - - I need a smilie.

YUM YUM YUM !

My friends don't understand the compost pile thing - - - but nobody seems to complain about the extra produce I bring in

I LOVE fresh beets. I had my first fresh beets last year - - - now I plant them every chance I get. I hear the leaves are better than the beets - - but I just didn't have time to try them out this year. I just pulled up the last of my beets.

STRAWBERRIES - - - I have some planted but no fruit. I don't think I am doing something right with them. They aren't dying or looking ill - - they just aren't producing.
