We have been outside all day here today. We both had a small breakfast and headed outside to get started. I picked some weeds out of the garden for the chickens and my hubby then started plowing it up and turning over the soil. While he did that I planted a couple of pecan tree saplings/seedlings, some oak trees and a couple of wisteria vines. After that I planted some more bell pepper seed and put those in the old stand up greenhouse. Another day or two and that thing will be full! I will have some squash plants ready to go into the garden when we get it ready. The tomato plants are not quite ready to transplant yet. It's going to take a couple of days and then I'll get the green light to start that planting. Getting excited over that. I love planting the garden. We came in for a light lunch. My hubby made a meat loaf sandwich and I pulled out mushrooms and carrots that had been cooked in with a roast the other day. I didn't want to eat much with it being on the warm side outside. We got up to 82 today. It was nice! How was your day today? Good Spring weather with sunshine and warmth? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

We have a pleasant weather here. It is sunny.The sky is clear. Not a single patch of cloud But the temperature is rising. The weather forecast says that we are going to have heavy rain in a few days.

@Shivram59 We are getting more rain next week. I think we will also be having a very hot summer here.

It was around 74. The temps are still going up and down. A very strange April.

We reached 78 today. We were in the 40's last night, but just a low of 54 tonight. Waiting to see if we go over 78 today. It's really nice outside!

@LindaOHio Yes, we had it all of last month. And still getting little cold snaps in the 40's at night about every two weeks now. I will be glad when the weather gets back to being consistent!

We got home mid afternoon on Sunday from our road trip scouting some campgrounds farther north, and finally broke the seal and cut the back. The front will wait. Maybe another week or so. But soon I want to get my marigolds planted.

Yes, I need to plant some here too. They help with bug control!

It was quite warm and sunny after lunch, so I walked for two miles. Tomorrow it’s going to be about 30 degrees cooler and blustery.

Our weather was nice today. Partly sunny/cloudy and 80F. Tomorrow will be cooler, 62F with clouds and drizzle. And that has been our spring so far. Warm a day or two then colder by 15-20 degrees 3 or 4 days. Good luck with your garden.

That is how our weather did all last month in March! Tease! It seems to be getting better now. Only a night or two in the 40's here and there. Thank you!
