De we have a heat wave here today and a cold snap on tap for Sunday. I weeded my shallots and garlic yesterday and will do some soil prep for summer crops today.

I saw your post a week or so ago where you put your seedlings out in the elements. I am sure you know you will need to harden them in an area with a mix of mostly shade and leave them there for an hour and increase that time daily so they can harden to the forces of the sun - otherwise they will wilt - as you already know. This is a good article:

My tomato plants are almost all popping (no Kellogs Breakfast so far yet the seeds were old so...) and I will start some peppers, mostly cayenne and poblanos today.

Heck I have even had to mow the yard TWICE already this year. I looks like a magazine cover right now - come July it will be brown!!

And lastly, a batch of pinto beans yesterday were made & distributed to my three older neighbor ladies (all in their late 70's and 80's) along with some minced sweet onions and something new - sour cream & onion cornbread that was crusty and delicious at the same time!!

Re: "Have a good day and be SAFE folks - I am gonna work on the garden some today!!"
It's still too soon to do that here. (It snowed yesterday). But I'm definitely looking forward to gardening. I expect to do a LOT of it this year. I don't think there's any choice.

Yes, we're being told that food will continue to be available. That's probably true. But what if it's not? I can't rule that out. So many key businesses have closed and will close in the near future. Gotta garden. And can...
