Though I'm hedging my bets on the last frost, the warm weather we've enjoyed lately has gotten the trees blooming and the perennials sending up shoots. My potatoes will be in the ground this week, as will my other usual spring vegetables: peas, lettuce, chard, and for the first time, arugula. My broccoli, lettuce, and chard lasted over the winter, though the peas suffered from frost.
