Beginning the Garden

I've taken a chance and I planted corn and beans yesterday.  I took my thermometer and checked the soil temperature.  It was "warm" or about 70 degrees.  This was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon so the sun had warmed it all day.  I've also planted 6 tomato and 6 pepper plants that I recently picked up at a local green house.  The extended forecasts all look pretty favorable for them to survive.  I do want them to do more than just survive though.  I'm so ready for fresh vegetables out of the garden.  I've been picking spinach that I sowed last fall.  We've had several gallon sized bags.  If the weather will stay on the cool side it will keep producing.
How is your garden planting going?
