It's been a wacky spring. Finally, now that it is May, the peas are finally looking normal (and growing taller), but the spinach hasn't really grown at all (do we count a 1/2 inch tall?) and the swiss chard and radish seeds I planted in early April are practically non-existent. Was the mistake direct-sowing outdoors? (I'm frustrated that the easiest crops are not working for me.)

| Mowed down! Oh no! |
The broccoli seedlings I started seem to look more robust today (as if they came from a nursery instead of my kitchen) but imagine my surprise when three of the plants were nibbled in half and left to die. I don't believe we have rabbits... is it that woodchuck causing problems? Luckily there are still plenty of plants left to grow.
I feel as if last spring I was further along at this point, even though it was colder and definitely snowier than this past winter. What gives?
