Ready to plant!

So many seeds, so many choices!
The seeds have been bought even though it will be 6 -8 weeks before the ground temperature will be warm enough to plant.  Reminds me of what my dad would say, "you spend like that dollar is burning a whole in your pocket".  That's how the packets of seeds feel to me!  I want to plant, plant, plant.  Patience is not one of my stronger assets.  We learned the hard way, plant to soon and frost will kill the young plants.  Also, if the ground is not warm enough it takes longer for the seeds to germinate. We have planted a few rows and in a couple weeks plant more of the same type seeds.  What surprised us was early or later they produced at the same time.  It's all about ground temperature and warm nights.  No matter what we can't hurry Mother Nature or a good thing.  Today we bought patty pans, beans, peas, cukes, corn, collards, kale, spinach, beets, carrots and.........tada.........baby lima beans.  Loved the gal that waited on us, such a sweet southern drawl.  y'all have a good day ;)  

"Pass it On".
