We have a fairly early spring here in west Michigan after a brutally cold winter. I planted some seeds a week ago, earliest I have ever planted here in over 30 years. The forecast confirms we will probably not have a late May frost so I am EXCITED. All of my seed plantings are up and yesterday I put in some plants except tomatoes, will probably do those today. I found my bush pickles (Chef Jeff’s) at the nursery so I am content. I tried them last year and was overwhelmed with pickles last year from one plant. They are also very fine eating cucumbers - thin skins. Marcella I hope your seeds sprouted, only one of mine did and it’s tiny yet. I transplanted the romaine I started Easter weekend under plexiglas. Also excited about 2 new radishes, yellow ones from Russia and Ukraine. I love radishes. I feel good this year and have been able to get a lot of prep work done early. The morel mushroom season is also not over. Hoping to find more today as we got a lot of rain and temps will warm up. Johnny if I lived closer I would bring you a nice dish garden of fresh greens. You may not be gardening yet but we are grateful for every post. I love seeing everyone’s pictures and reading about everyone’s gardening. Best thread on FR.

Thanks for liking the thread. It makes me feel appreciated, but it’s the other people who post that really get the credit for making things interesting. All I do is just start the conversation.

We are having a cool spell here right at 49 degrees right now. Glad I didn’t transplant the tomatoes into the garden yet. They are all grouped close to the house where things are a bit warmer.
