It is snowing again....well a rain/snow mix...where is that darn spring??

3 days ago, I sowed peas and carrots, and the next day I put in beets, broccoli and potatoes, and rearranged some stevia plants, of which I was surprised to see their rosettes, as I had not tried to overwinter this before.

Now the plants and seeds I just put in, would normally go in late winter-early spring. The weather was so unstable as well most of the time it was raining or snowing and soggy-wet...not the ideal time to plant anything. The Bluestone order I received a week ago, I just potted them up as I have no idea when the weather will give me an opportunity to get them in the ground. I have made a bed for them, and now weeds are growing...again! It is too wet to do any weeding now, but is supposed to be nice by the weekend..like last week...

The tomatoes are still in the cool basement under lights. I have taken them outside on nice days, and they should not be far from being hardened off. I keep the peppers inside until it gets warm, as I don't think they can stand cold weather so much as tomatoes...I am hoping to put a few out this weekend, if the ground is dry enough...and put gallon jugs of water around them to keep them warm at night. Maybe I'll cover them with row cover...or just do that with some and not put them in yet if it is too soggy...any ideas??
