It has been so cold this year nothing is growing the way it should. It just can’t get up to 70 degrees. I think it’s going to be a short growing season. I’ll try to get some stuff going in June or July when it warms up.

Bought some seeds starter kits online and I’ve got some indoor seedlings:

broccoli
zucchini
peppers
marigolds

Outside I planted potatoes.

Frost on the ground the last couple days. Planning on building another raised bed this year, I’ll probably get that going in a week or two in preparation for planting mid-April.
