We had a bit of a warm streak toward the end of January, so I got the itch to start planting stuff.
And it has mostly paid off!

I went with various veggies that are cold weather tolerant. The risky part was whether the soil was warm enough to facilitate germination. When it's cold and wet the seeds can rot in the soil before they have a chance to sprout. So after several consecutive days in the upper 70's I took a chance.
It wasn't a complete success.
I planted lettuce where I had to rip out dead broccoli plants after the great
aphid battle. It was old seed. It didn't work.
The cats also had some input on what grows were, mostly where they preferred to turn the garden into a litter box. Most of the snow peas survived, and when I thin plants next week I'll try transplanting to fill in the holes.
