I'm pleased to report that, here in eastern NC, the lettuces are up and looking strong. Harvest has already begun on Buttercrunch and Black-Seeded Simpson lettuces, and we have already partaken of some Swiss chard as well. We have beets, white potatoes, carrots, and a few peas. I've never had good luck with peas here... germination and early-plant survival is generally spotty.

Oh, and we got the usual volunteer pumpkin vines coming up in the compost heap. I generally let them come on. I'm already starting to clear lettuce rows to make room for tomato and pepper plants.
