5. I bought my seeds weeks ago when spring fever set in. Glad I did!

I usually don't start tomato plants because we have a local farm that has beautiful plants and a huge variety, but this year I'm planning to get a few going just in case. I'm in zone 5, so not quite ready to start them yet. I've got some leaf lettuce growing in a little greenhouse/cold frame thingy I bought for about $60 off Amazon. I was thinking of starting some snap peas, but I checked the ground yesterday and it's still frozen about 5" down so I'd better wait a couple of weeks for those, too. This miserable quarantine will be a whole lot easier to handle once gardening weather arrives.
