Early spring tilling and planting

We have had temperatures in the 70s for about a week now.  We rototilled the whole garden on Wednesday, and Joanne planted onions and shallots.  We also transplanted four leeks that survived the winter.

Today, I hauled compost into the garden for about 2 hours:

Then I rototilled this in.  Finally, I made two more rows and planted Leeks (Seeds) and Fennel (seeds).

It is pretty exhausting today, working without my Joanne.

Winter is breaking

We have received seeds from Totally Tomatoes (peppers and tomatoes), and have ordered a couple of other things from Jung.  I'll publish this list shortly.

Last year I started seedlings on March 26.  This year I need to start a couple of weeks earlier.  Goal: seedlings started this weekend or next.  Joanne has already started the leeks.
