The garden is growing

The gardening is underway here! Despite the sleet, wind and cold of yesterday, there are veggies popping up in the garden. The onion tops are about 3" tall, the peas are just breaking through the soil and the potato leaves are making their appearance also! Indoors, the tomatoes are setting their third set of leaves and a watermelon seedling decided to show up. None of the other watermelon, squash or herbs germinated. Time to replant those. As soon as the ground dries some, we will be planting carrots and tilling the new garden plot. In about a week or two, I will start the bush beans. Hopefully this weekend I will make it to the nursery to get my berries and fruit. It is supposed to get into the lower 80's this weekend - good time to garden! The ground should be ready for the carrots then too! Spring gardening is always exciting for me!
