Timing

It is either timing or location that determines success or failure in most endeavors.  At least for one evening I was the lucky winner on both counts.  As soon as I arrived in the yard after changing, I was able to get a long row of potatoes planted, then transplanted broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage and six varieties of leaf and head lettuce before dark.  The weather remained cloudy, and rain started to fall this morning.  Not having to water that many transplants is a huge time saver in the spring, and as long as we don't get too much rain, the predicted nice weather for the weekend should allow me to catch up on weeding and fertilizing of the prior plantings of peas, carrots, beets, etc.  It's nice when Mom Nature cooperates with farmers and gardeners.
