Nothing yet. Calling for up to 8" of the white stuff, again tomorrow, with lows in the 20's. Buds on my cherry trees, not good.

Snow out now waiting for it to dry out. In our climate we try not to plant more than a week before Memorial day anyway.

I am starting to harvest some vidalia type onions that I planted from seed last Oct. Also some sugar snap peas on last years cucumber trellis.

Rocks..... dang soiley rocks. Not rocky soil. But I still try. Bout a 100 onion sets, some kale, some turnips and mustard. Just planted some early peas, will get some purple hulls and okra into rocks in a couple weeks, still a bit cool. Some zukes and spaghetti and butternut squash. Few tomatoes, big boy and some golden jubilee (orange yellow with just a few seeds and almost all meat, great tasting)

My wife is out in the garden ... (she's the "green thumb" while I'm the "black thumb" ... I've never had any interest in gardening.)
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
I have a long story about asparagus...but I won't bore you...I'll cut to the chase.
I want to create a new asparagus patch, last year I ordered 10 plants from a trusted source.
They sent junk, they all looked dead, but I got lucky, ...4 plants survived, but the chutes coming up this week are tiny.
I'd really like to have 10 good plants.
I was garage saleing on Friday and one sale had some plants [hostas, peonies, but no asparagus] ...I asked the fellow if he had any Asparagus roots he could dig up for me?
He suggested Walmart, he claimed to get good looking roots there.
Now I was kind of surprised, I checked their website, and sure enough 2 of the 3 walmarts near me had them in stock.
I stopped by one this morning and bought 2 packages [5 roots each] for $3 each package...and the roots looked real good. I was told these are offered for a short time only.
SO, back to the OP...tomorrow, I will have Asparagus roots in the garden.

Rabbits, Quail and squirrels! We are a bunny and quail friendly yard but the squirrels are an 'in dangered' species and begin to stink after a few days! The squirrels always seem to find a place to hide and die if given the option.

rabbits and guinnes are in my garden.
Yesterday I picked 4 tomatoes out of my garden. My first of the year. This is the latest I have picked my first tomato in about 10 years.

Set out tomatoes, peppers, planted okra, cucumbers and purple hull peas a couple of days ago.
mud and more mud... been to wet to work in it...
Lots of asparagus, romaine, spinach, arugula, broccoli, onions, garlic, and sugar snap peas. Tomatoes are still under grow lights. Just started more lettuce. Lots of buds on the blueberries, still too early for the raspberries and blackberries.
mud, more mud, and weeds still... way to wet to till...
i got our tomatoes out yesterday things are looking up
So far I've planted squash , cayenne peppers, yellar an red maters, cucumbers an 1 ghost pepper. Will put some okra in when I get back home
I have tomato plants coming in the mail, Mortgage Lifter and Black Krim, both grow well enough in my area of Virginia. Started from seed and transplanting this weekend/week are Tiger Squash, Hot Pepper mix, Brandywine Tomato, Pak Choi from saved seed, Onions, various herbs, Pickling Cucumber, Armenian Cucumber, and a few others. Many of the seeds failed to germinate, I'm not sure why. Maybe just the right combination of too much wet and too much heat, as we had a hot spell over 80 for a week last month right after I started the seeds outside.
Still, there will be enough if all the tomato plants produce, and I can trade for other items.

I have been blessed with favorable conditions this year. The broccoli is starting to head, cabbage, onions and garlic are looking great. The tomatoes are coming along nicely, and the beans, okra, squash, and cucumbers are up. It's looking like a good year for some things, all my stone fruit where nipped in the bud by a hard March freeze, but the blackberries are blooming well.
5-8-19 inland NH. Just spread out the chicken poop and compost in the garden.
Egg shells from an egg processor to go in tomorrow.
Ready to roto till this weekend.
Good thing.
