Well yesterday evening, the spinach, lettuce, peas, broccoli, radishes and beets went in the ground. And of course there was a light frost this morning, but nothing seemed to be really bothered by it. This evening I'm starting the tomato plants for my dad's house, planting some podding radishes and flax outdoors, cutting the potatoes into smaller chunks, and approaching my wife about a spot I think would be perfect for another garden bed. Its worth a shot right?
Out and about in the yard I noticed lemon balm, bee balm, chives, mint, and wormwood poking up out of the ground. The buds on the ornamental cherry are swelling, the lilacs are getting ready to leaf out. I've got about 4 1-year-old blackberry primocanes that are budding and 3 coming up out of the ground. The berry yield will still be small but much better than the 7 berries I got last year.

Sounds like things are really moving along on the garden front. It sounds like you are getting prepared.
I think if you give your wife an award winning smile, especially if you note the cost and health benefits, and especially the extra fun and educational time you can spend with the kids, you might have a chance of getting your extra plot. :-)
Keep us up to date on the progress!
Yeah! Gardens!
I love the spring and seeing what is going to come back on it's own aside from what I plant.
