Weather:

 On Monday, it was cold and rained most of the day, yesterday it was in the 70’s today 80’s and by Saturday it will be close to 90°. 

Plantings:

 Yesterday I planted radish - Cherry Bombs and beets (3). Various leaf lettuce.  Since I nuked my cucumbers (transplanted them too early) I direct sowed 3 of each Sweet Success and Early Pride.

Activities:

 Watered, mowed the lawn.  Hauled a load of dirt to the potato batch to cover (hill) the sprouting potatoes.  Once they grow up through this hill I will place another tire on them.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

 The zucchini seems to be well as do the pumpkin plants.  The strawberries are blooming and I think that I will have strawberries soon.  I harvested my first crop of spinach tonight and we had it for dinner.  If the heat keeps up the spinach will bolt.  The snap peas are doing well and I should have my first crop by mid June, maybe sooner.
