     i'm hoping the frosts are done for the season here.   
      
     i have peas up and growing and the strawberries are   
   flowering.  i did replant some of the peas that did not   
   come up.  1 out or 11 had no peas at all sprout and   
   another had 3 out of 12 seeds sprout so i filled in the   
   rest to see if it was temperature related or it may be   
   the seeds were old (someone sent them to me so i guess   
   it happens).   
      
     we picked up the starts we need from the greenhouse   
   yesterday so we're ready to plant as soon as we can   
   get the plants hardened off.  the vegetable gardens   
   are ready.  at least most of them are.  we're working   
   on removing some pathways now that are useless and   
   i have wanted to redo for many years.  this will give   
   us more space to plant tomatoes.  we're going to need   
   it.
