Too much rain

So far the ground has been too muddy to plow. So, while I patiently wait, I am trying to get things tidied up around the yard. Today I started 2 milk jug greenhouses: one for dill and one for Better Boy tomatoes. Everything has now sprouted in the other milk jugs. I went ahead and planted the cauliflower sprouts in the back bed with the broccoli and lettuce. The green leaf lettuce sprouts got planted between the snow peas.
 Speaking of snow peas those have really started to grow! My first attempt at a trellis did not work out well. Now I'm trying plan B. Tomorrow I'll get a picture and explain what I did so next year I won't have to spend too much time pondering "how did I do that before...?" That's the whole reason I started this blog is to help me remember stuff. Like at left. That is a list of the seeds that I planted on 2/20-President's Day along with their estimated maturity date. I am impatient and will start picking at things too early to see if they're ready yet. I can refer to this and slap my wrist to keep me in check.
