Planting the Seeds of Success?

I spent all afternoon yesterday outside in the garden. My kids played and rode their bikes and my husband helped me weed dandelions and dig holes. I transplanted some Daffodils (I know wrong time of year, but it had to get done or they were going to die anyway) and planted some purple Wandering Jew that I got from my sister last fall and rooted in water in the windowsill thorough the winter.

I also planted my carrot seeds and decided I really dislike the peat pots. I prefer plastic, but went with peat and there's no turning back now. It rained last night, and snowed/sleeted this morning but was only 36 degrees so I think my plants will be ok. Only thing I am really worried about is the Wandering Jew because the herbs should be fine.


I will attack the fire ants this week weather permitting, so my hubby can finish getting the garden spot ready. I need to map out my planting areas, and get some strawberry plants set out asap. I also got more seeds in the mail yesterday. I received Okra, same variety as last year which really produced for us (Annie Oakley), Yellow Summer Squash, Zuccini, and Sweet Corn. I did not plant zuccini or corn last year so we'll see how it comes out this year.
