I finally got a moment to sow some seeds in my raised bed this afternoon. The sugar snap peas went in, as did two rows each of spinach, carrots, and a mesclun mix, plus four rows of kale (a big hit in this house).
Now I know the attractions of timed venting systems on greenhouses. Trying to remember to (or getting a chance to) get out there and open up the roof vent in the morning and close it in the evening is a challenge.
A couple of pix of the garden in its current state: crocuses and chiondoxa.

Thanks, Steve. I actually was just at O'Donal's yesterday, touring the grounds and ultimately buying a book on organic pest/disease control. It's always a pleasure to visit.
