Bustin' out all over!

The sprouts are, that is!  These are the zucchini:


I am finally convinced that Spring is here, too.  I'm so excited!  We planted 376 more seeds last night.  It took two of us about three and a quarter hours to do it, all together.  Last night's list includes:  Bull Nose Bell Peppers, Magnum Orange Habanero Peppers, Standard Mexican Jalapeno Peppers, Charentais Melons, Delice de la Table Melons, Petit Gris de Rennes Melons, Prizetaker Leeks, Rosa Bianca Eggplant, Mammoth Red Rock Cabbage, Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage, DeCicco Broccoli, Snowball Cauliflower, Antares Oakleaf Lettuce, Priat Butterhead Lettuce, Tennis Ball Lettuce, and Green Oakleaf Lettuce.  If the day goes according to plan, I'll be planting 18 more Genovese Basil tonight, too.  Believe it or not, there is still more to plant in pots, as well as the stuff that will be planted directly in the garden (like corn, radishes, carrots, and other things that can't be started in pots).

So, what else is up?  Well.... all the varieties of tomatoes,
both types of cucumbers, yellow squash, pumpkins,

basil, and oregano. 



The only things not up yet from the first batch planted are the butternut and acorn squashes.  Hopefully they will be along any time now.
