Update
The seedlings are up, the raspberries are budding, and the blueberries are flowering.
^The full, mature plants are spinach and arugula that has wintered, and all the turnips have been pulled. Second picking of spinach just today, and the arugula is bolting and being removed as it's used (one will stay for seeds). The blueberries are in the back (barely visible) with the raspberries the small square center, one spot up from the back.
^ Again, the wintered spinach (the scant rows show how they don't all winter) with the new seedlings; beets, turnips, kohlrabi, escarole, more arugula and more spinach. Swiss chard just went in, and broccoli rabe will go in this weekend. Beans will wait for may 15th, and the rest will go in as plants.
I prefer to water with a can rather than with a sprinkler at this point, because the weeds that have been scraped up can be left to dry out and die. If the weeds get water the can set their roots again and survive.
