It is really difficult to have patience in the spring when it is nearly 80 degrees out and mostly sunny and even a little flowery. Even if it is very windy. But I will NOT plant anything yet. I have made my notes and consulted the Almanac's Moon Calendar and chosen the days based on past experience and future goals.
I am waiting until the weekend of the 15th to direct sow peas and lettuce and carrots. That's more than a week away. That will probably also be around the time when the Peppers and Celosia and maybe even Coleus are ready for transplanting into cells.

Every time I peek at the Butterhead lettuce it looks like it has grown a little more. I gave it a little half strength fertilizer and it stood right up and started to grow.
The week after that I will see if the local nursery is ready to sell cole crops. Their summer hours will have begun then and if I had started my own plants they would be ready about then to set out.
Patience....
Your daffodils and lettuce look so pretty! I'm anxious to get planting too. We've had a warm spring, but memories of late frosts in the past couple of years keep me cautious.
