I think we might be over the low-20's hump so I will take the tunnel off the carrot bed this afternoon. Rain is supposed to come in tonight just when the flooded lower areas finally got dry enough to walk on.

Meanwhile, the first seeds have popped up; the first 3 of an eventual 12 Packman broccolis, the first 3 each of Charleston Wakefield and Stonehead cabbages, 3 Premier kales and 3 Vates collards. Only two of the 3 Wakefield cabbages germinated so I've started two more after noticing the seed is from 2015. I'm not going to wait and wait like I'm used to doing. As my old Latin teacher used to say during test time, "Tempus is fugitting!" (Time is fleeing)

Amen! I've decided I can't afford to wait too long before re-seeding, either. If germination is off, sometimes even if I get a seedling it'll be weak, or a helmet-head, or die for some other reason. Better to re-seed early & often than have to plant out too late.
