Instead, I'm planting more seeds. It's a little early, but I'm throwing all caution to the wind. If the seedlings get a little too big, I'll toss them into a hoop house.
The peppers need to be reseeded as well. I've been a little spacey lately, and may have missed seeding an entire row, thus the pathetic germination rate. Some of the broccoli and cabbage seeds were quite old. In fact, I'm not even sure how old they are. I'll be replanting some of those as well.
The garden plan is done, but will most definitely be altered along the way. I'm very good at planning, but not terribly good at following my plan. This year, I'm trying to put more garden into storage crops and year round greens. I didn't put it into the plan, but many of these beds will be rotated at least once for multiple harvests. We go through a ridiculous number of carrots in a year, so a very large crop will be planted mid to late summer. They can be easily overwintered in the ground with some protection. Even with minimal protection, I've found that they will do quite well.

This seems like a good year to throw caution to the wind. The weather has been so consistently warm. Ok today is cold, but most days are warm.
Daphne, it does seem like a good year for it. Hopefully, the weather won't decide to get cold again. The long range looks pretty good right now.
