Man -- a post like this does make me envy y'all who live in warmer climes than we do. Most home gardeners here don't plant until Memorial Day, for fear of their hubris causing a freak late snow. *wry grin*

We get our summer veggies from a CSA. I am looking really forward to taking Zaphod there this year -- and hoping it may entice him to actually enjoy vegetables. Right now the only green thing he likes is avocado, and he would eat several of those each day if we let him. But those won't grow here. :-)
