   With the weather being warm enough that the weeds are starting to come   
   in (and some onion-looking things that were planted by the previous   
   owner), decided to take the past weekend and dig out the first two of   
   this year's planned three experimental vegetable beds, and plant some   
   onion sets, garlic, and potatoes; which should all be hardy enough to   
   survive any of this year's remaining frosts (SHOULD).   
      
   Also planted a few containers with beans and peas, because I can move   
   those inside at night, and let everything stay warm.  Not sure how bad   
   of an idea it is; but they're container varieties, so we'll see.   
      
   Then it's just waiting about 2 weeks (maybe 2 and a half) to pass the   
   50% light frost date so I can comfortably start planting the less hardy   
   things I wanted to try.  Not all that concerned that it's 50% chance,   
   since I have more than enough seed packets to kill off a row or two of   
   the leafy things I grabbed.   
      
   It's not quite "edible", but I've also got plans for a few flower   
   gardens around the property to make things look ever so slightly better.
