   I haven't decided yet. I may add a few other types of bulbs in established my flower beds for more variety. I also want to add some more shrubs to my landscaping, but haven't decided what type or where I want them.

      My son and I planted two small pear trees today, and also some onions in the raised beds.  We are starting to see a few flowers peek out here and there.  My wife planted a few extra bulbs in her existing flower beds for some added variety also.

   I will plant potatoes, carrots, salad, tomatoes, cucumber, herbs, grapes and pepper. It will also be some Cosmos and Dahlias. I love gardening, thought my garden is just a small square. I try to squeeze in as much as I can:)

      I have many small raised beds, and I prefer this over a large garden.  It can be very gratifying growing a perfect bowl of salad yourself, even in a small container.

   I have so many vegetable seeds to plant. I started planting Pak Choi in my greenhouse then later on I will plant beans, peas, salad leaves, cucumber, strawberries, tomatoes, squash, carrots, broad beans and potatoes. I just hope there is enough space for them in my garden. I just love growing my vegetables and also some flowers in tubs or containers.

      It is easy to run out of space when you love gardening.  It seems like I always have a few seeds left from the year before.  Thanks for your answer and good luck this season.

   The earliest thing in my garden is onions, peas, lettuce and radish. I've also already planted some kale. Next week: spinach, chard, a few carrots and salad greens. Admitedly, I am a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. Still, I have plenty of seed and can replant if we get a hard freeze.

      Sounds like a great start.  I always plant some things a little early myself, but what is the harm in being anxious for Spring?
