Love your posts with pics of your seedlings!

Still wet in Oregon. Overnight temps are in the mid to upper 40s with 50s being the typical daytime highs. Cool season crops like peas, carrots, lettuce, spinach and chard are emerging/growing in the ground. It fluctuates depending on the number of slugs (though hazelnut shells have worked well this spring).

My tomatoes - all four, all Indigo Rose- are still under the lights and will be until Memorial Day. I do have cloches but I'm still loathe to put them out too early as they just don't do much in the cold.

I'd love some warmer temps now but it wouldn't be NW Oregon if it were 70 and sunny in April!
