--------------------------------------------
One of my orders of asparagus crowns arrived earlier than expected, so I had to start getting the garden ready. I really should have done this sooner, because I need to plant spinach outside now anyway. I cleaned out a long area to the south of my normal garden area. It was full of groundcover vines and was a real mess. Now, it's a nice bed about 25' x 3 1/2'. (I'll have to measure it to get the actual size.) The previous owners of our house (not the last owners but the one before them) has asparagus and rhubarb and some herbs growing in this area. I didn't disturb it too much, so who knows what perennials may pop up. I thought there were some Chives, but I didn't see any yesterday when I worked on it. We're supposed to get rain for the next few days, so on the next dry, nice day, I'll plant the first group of asparagus crowns. I also may plant some spinach or lettuce in that area if it fits.

Pepper seedlings | 
A lettuce seedling starting to sprout | 
Collard greens and broccoli seedlings |
Almost every pepper and tomato seed has sprouted. I've already thinned them all. The only ones that haven't sprouted are a Czech Black pepper, a Fatalii pepper, both Pepperoncinis and a Moonglow tomato.
The broccoli and greens are also doing well. All of my lettuce (1 of each of the 6 varieties I'm growing) have started to sprout, but the parsley is just barely coming up (1 out of 6).
I need to do a lot of work in the outside garden. If it's nice this weekend (not rain or snow), I am going to do a preliminary clean-up of the beds and the areas around them. I'd also like to cover the beds with some black plastic.

All of the peppers and tomatoes have been sown. Today, I saw the first pepper sprouting - a Serrano. That is very exciting! No tomato sprouts yet, but I just did those last night. Also, all of the broccoli and collards have sprouted. I've already thinned them. Nothing yet from the parsley, lettuce, catnip, sage, chives.
