     garlic is up and growing here along with many of the onion   
   species.

     all pretty much what i would do here, but i don't do too   
   much container gardening.   
      
     i won't be putting any peas in for another week or two   
   and some potentially sacrificial beans (because i have   
   several gallons of seeds of those so if i lose a row or   
   two it isn't a huge problem).

     :)   
      
     early spring flowers are nice to have in, some daffodils and   
   hyacinths are out, the earliest irises are up and mostly gone   
   and some of the other earliest flowers.
