I haven't started any tomatoes yet. They grow so fast, I think they only need about 4-5 weeks. Last year I swore to myself I would not start them until mid-April this year. I'll probably rotate my stuff this next couple days and start tomatoes this weekend. Broccoli and cauliflower need to get hardened off. Peppers need to be potted up - I "pot up" into 2" soil blocks with good success.

It snowed again last night, but Fri and Sat look like the days everything sown so far will pop on up.

I'm sorry to hear about those garlic issues up in Canada. I organized a garlic bed last fall for the first time. We have a had what looks to be a kind of Purple Stripe growing wild here for years. Now, in its own raised bed, it looks happy as can be since it broke through the leaf mulch in February. I am a little concerned about our rhubarb. That broke through its mulch at some point and some of those leaf edges look a little brown from the cold nights.
