Sweetheart, you are learning just like the rest of us....trial and error. You will find the garden very forgiving. Our weather is the same. It was 50 yesterday, 73 today and 50 tomorrow. I don't how it jumps up and down so much. while we are having teasing days I have no doubt that we are not through with at least one more freeze, possibly two. I started gardening in earnest 5 years ago this spring. The last two months I have moved almost every plant. Some got too big, some needed sun, some need shade, we cut down a tree and changed everything as far light needs. Buy lots of seed (they are cheap), prepare the area, and just pitch the seed out like you are feeding the chickens.

Has worked for me. I love the thrill of watching the seedlings push through the soil and since I plant helter skelter I never know what it is until it is fairly large.

Relax and enjoy.
