Things have slowed a bit as temperatures have came back to historical averages.

| Cima di Rapa Seedlings |
Most of the cima di rapa seedlings have developed their first true leaves so with a few sunny days they should really start to take off. I expect they'll need a second thinning this weekend.
We planted one 8 foot row of peas in the "old" raised bed along side a chain link fence on March 26 and a couple short rows of beets on April 1. The "new" upper bed got 2 short rows of Swiss Chard parallel to the cima di rapa at the same time. We'll pop in a couple more rows of each plus some more cima di rapa on the 15th. We should see our onion sets arriving sometime this week - half of 'em will go into the new bed and half into the old.

| Leggy Tomatoes |
The tomato transplants are getting a bit leggy in spite of the grow light and the south facing porch window. Unfortunately, night time temperatures are rather unreliably in the low to mid-40's so actually setting them out is still pretty risky. We do have more plants than we actually need so maybe this weekend we can come up with some sort of protection scheme and take a shot.
In any case, the parsley and thyme can certainly be potted up and hardened off this week. The parsley is looking great:
