Simply Photos - Garden Progress

Welcome back, I hope you are finding time to get your garden started.

The weather over the last 4 or 5 days was very summer like, with highs in the 80s.  It's also been dry. Since first starting my garden on April 26th, it didn't rain until yesterday, and we only got one tenth of an inch.  Barely enough to wet the soil.  With the rain also came a cold front, and tonight there's a frost advisory.  I've been taking advantage of the weather to get the early season vegetables started. Since it has been dry, I've been watering more than usual for this early in the season.

Instead of going into details, this week I will just post some photos to show the garden progress.  This will allow me to show most everything I've planted to date.  Of course, if you ever have questions, you can leave then in the comments and I will gladly answer.
