  2. This was so helpful. Thank you. It looks like a lot of these plants were planted before April. However, I can still plant many of these you suggested right now in April/May which is reassuring!
    I feel behind for not having started anything yet. What should I start preparing for summer for indoor seed to transplant vs directly seeding in the ground for summer…any helpful videos? Thank you!

  3. Those bok choy plants are sooooo sensitive. We must have had one day of 70 degrees and they already bolted here in PNW.
