We've had three amazing spring days and the plants love it. They've been revving their engines, and this warm phase has made them shoot up and bloom.
I've been outside five to six hours each of these, weeding, thinning, painting, fixing a few minor problems, collecting the last of the winter yard trash to burn, and weeding some more. (weeds like the warmth as much as every other plant!)
This weekend will be cool again (not freezing, but cool), but then it warms up once more, apparently for good. The 30-day forecast tells me I should be able to plant out the tomatoes around the 24th of April, and peppers a week later. Beds are ready, extra soil is mixed, and I'm rarin' to go.
Some pix of my gardens and plant starts are below:
