Hopefully today's weather wasn't just a teaser. I've been nursing along my broccoli, chard, and lettuce seedlings, but the favas I started in the ground got mowed down - a neighbor and I are speculating - by a rat. Hope you're getting some planting in this weekend. Thanks for the reminder that tomatoes and other summer crops need to get planted. Hopefully today’s weather wasn’t just a teaser.

Last week I planted sugarsnaps for my granddaughter and I to eat off the vine, and some cilantro. My herb planters are doing great - the rosemary and thyme survived, chives are thick, mint's coming up, and I'm getting some basil plants from my CSA this weekend. I'll put in some tomatoes once a local specialty farmer/gardener starts selling her heirloom organic seedlings. This past week's rainy days have been chilly and dreary, but I just like to picture those little shriveled peas coming to life from all that moisture and a few balmy wet afternoons.
