The warm weather has definitely been making it feel like Spring, the broccoli plants that are blooming yellow tell that story for sure. If you look close you can see a honey bee in there doing its thing, they were thick in those blooms! Hoping to have some younger broccoli plants make the cut before it gets too hot for them, along with some beets that are finally starting to grow. We will be planting our first set of tomatoes in a week or so depending on what the 14 day forecast says, there isn't any frosty mornings projected yet but I am always leery when it comes to that!
