We just had to get the plants started! When I talk with my parents on the phone, all I hear about are all of the beautiful flowers and how all of their seedlings are sprouting... so to satisfy the urge, I have planted two types of broccoli (raab is a small bunch broccoli and then the regular style broccoli), eggplant and carnival peppers (a rainbow of colors and flavors) from Burpee (at 40% off from Cubs). I also planted leeks from the local Seed Savers - they are quite amazing in that you can chip the ice and snow away from the young plants, thaw and eat! Let the growing begin!!
