Spring is coming.  After a warmish February and early March, we've had some colder weather with clouds predominating. Today was showing a little green and Jim planted the first of our garden.  He used some sort of machine to tear up the ground earlier and used his new little two row planter to plant two rows of sweet corn several weeks ago.  It's been too cold for it to come up of course.
Jim has planted beets, peas, 2 rows of potatoes using last years yukon golds that have sprouted all over the place in spite of trying to prevent this by putting a couple of apples in their storage bag, and onions.  I planted pepper seeds in the house.  I've got them in three egg cartons and I hope they will grow.  I started earlier last year I think, but I just let the peppers hang on until they turn color so it won't matter if they are late.

Jim's been wanting one of these for years.
