Planting out the first seedling

The hardening off of the seedling did not go so well. It got into the low 30s while they were outside, and it looks like several of the bibb lettuce seedling died.

Today, we planted the seedlings from our paper pots. Peas, Leeks, Bibb, Mache, Mesclun mix and chard. Temperatures have been in the upper 50s during the day, but in the low 30s at night. Still, we have to get them planted out since we won't be around to water the seedlings for a week. Hopefully, some good April showers will take care of everything outside.

I also put in leek seeds. Not sure how this will go. The seed packet recommends starting them indoors 12 weeks before the last frost. Hmmmmm.....
