Its gardening season!

Again I must apologize for the lack of posting but that last month has been pretty much nothing but weeding and watering with nothing of interest to report. But things are starting to pick up around this Atlanta (rented) homestead. This weekend marked the special date of April 10th, supposedly the last frost date for Atlanta. As a celebration (I hope) I decided to plant all my seedlings that I've been cultivating in my basement under grow lights. Of course the plan was to use only a small section of the garden bed for those seedling which, of course, proved to be totally unrealistic. I am never going to trust my judgment of space needs in the garden again as the peppers and half the tomatoes I'd started took up most of an 8'x4' garden bed (minus the space for some lettuce). Luckily for my neighbor I ended up with a few spare pepper plants that I donated to their garden in exchange for a ride to the big box store for the supplies to build a 4th (and hopefully final) garden bed. So far things are good with the transplanted seedlings, I can only hope it continues.
