Planted some corn, amaranth, sunflower sees, and thinking of where to plant peas. It sure is HOT today. Supposed to hit 80F tomorrow.
EDIT:
Oh, i almost forgot... i also dug up a small plant that i wondered might be a perennial teosinte (zea diploperennis) from last season. Some of it was green underneath the dirt, so there is a good chance it survived the winter!!!

I need to get my tomatoes out. DESPERATELY! Things are just to hectic around here this year with all the remodeling. I'm doing more gathering that sowing right now. A friend came and we made the first sizable harvest of green peas. I used them in chicken noodle soup which had homemade noodles. I now have a pasta maker! I want to make fresh pea soup and paella. Lettuce, mustard greens, and potatoes are coming soon. The garlic seems to be a bit puny compared to what I remember it being last year at this time. Last year we gathered on May 18th and it was a tad early. I'm aiming to harvest the first or second week of June this year. I'm picking the middle rows of onions to use as spring onions and they are doing beautifully. The onions I have started from seed are really beginning to take off as well. THAT excites me because I've been trying to get onion from seed for the past 6 years and this is the first sign of success.

Pasta maker, yeah, I've got to get one again. I used to dry and powder all sorts of stuff to include in pasta. Various greens ( both tame and wild ), various mushrooms, flower petals.

Guinea eggs make the hands down best pasta. I want to try chestnut and hazelnut flour.
