Spring peepers!

@growingwisdom When will the spring peepers be out? When I hear them I know spring is here and I look forward to it every year. I keep sticking my head out the door in hope of a peep...

Watch how soil temperatures warm up rapidly this weekend. Time to plant. Peas, spinach and even some Asian greens should be good to go. You might have to give them some water next week if things continue to be dry.
