We'll still need to get some tomatoes, whether seed or start I'm not yet sure. Lettuce too of course1,2. Maybe some beans? Potatoes? You can tell we haven't started deep planning, can't you?
I have two packs of seed that I'm especially looking forward to planting. One is ground cherry seed saved from a fellow Volunteer Master Gardener who was in my course cohort. The other is a pack of walking stick kale (aka Jersey cabbage), a thing I discovered existed last year3.
Getting this done has done wonders for my mood. It's nice to have the garden to look forward to again, especially after weeks of snow hanging around from the last storm. Bring it.

2: That footnote is specifically for you. You know who you are.
3: AND I bought it without giving money to the Fascist-supporting seed company that pops up when you search for it.
