Late Start

I probably forced things on Sunday morning, but I was determined to get the first spinach planted.  The bed I prepared last fall was bare of snow (the rest of the garden was still covered) and slightly frozen from overnight temps in the 20s.  I laid the seed in the furrows and waited for the ground to thaw and tamped the seed in.  It looked like a muddy mess, so we'll see.  I also started my tomato crop in the basement and the onions in cold frames, so we are off and running.  Rain and warmer temperatures are predicted for the week, so there should be some major thawing as we get toward the weekend.   We are getting off to a late start this season, but as the saying goes, every season is different.
