Sticking my toes in

I decided to test the waters by getting my toes wet.  The day time temps have only been in the 40's and occasional 50's. This is not text book weather for seeding, but the call has come for me.  I put my pea seeds into dishes of water to soak while I was at work today.  The commitment was made and the peas are in the ground tonight.  I decided against the other items I would like to get in (radishes, beets, parsnips...), but at least I have gotten my toes wet by testing the garden temperature with the peas.  

There is rain predicted for several days next week.  This may make the soil too wet for seeding next weekend.  Gardening in early spring is a gamble.  You can't win if you don't play.  Come on, sunshine!

Arlo and Janis rarely disappoint me in reflecting the mood of my life!
