The garden is officially planted until it is time to plant the warm weather crops. Beans, tomatoes, ground cherries, peppers, celery, cucumber, squashes, melons, corn, sunflowers and basil will wait until after any risk of frost is over and even then I do not hurry to get my tomatoes, ground cherries and peppers in. I usually transplant them about two weeks after the last frost allowing the soil even more time to heat up. I have only done this the last two years and would say it is worth the wait. Weather can be unpredictable here and it seems we often get a cool spell after the risk of frost has passed.
We currently have planted in the garden: Beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cilantro, fall planted garlic, kale, kohlrabi, various lettuces and greens, onions from seed, parsnips, peas, potatoes, radishes, rutabaga, scallions, spinach and swiss chard. I may be forgetting something, although I think that is covering everything. We still have a fully stocked cold frame with kale, scallions, spinach, radishes, pok choi, mache, arugula, lettuces, parsley and cilantro. Now to sit back, water, fertilize, weed and watch it grow.
Peas in the first planted pea bed, these guys need a trellis to climb. I'm working on it.

Hard to get the camera to focus on, asparagus spears.

Garlic going for it.
Tulips, hollyhocks, iris and grape muscari.
Some checkered lilies still hanging on.
I love these double daffodils.
Fragrant jonquil daffodils.
Hosta surrounded by grape muscari.
These are so fragrant, the smell fills the house when I take them inside.
Fox's grape.
Daffodils and hycainths.
