Planted okra yesterday.  Dug in moisture beads then added 1/3 cup vegetable food and 1/4 cup blood meal.
I also transplanted summer squash I had started from seed. 
One H'Ogen melon has come up in the garden, it was planted two weeks ago.
Eggplant and peppers in pots are twice as big as the ones planted in garden.  Is it the moisture beads?
I have been harvesting strawberries for over a week, they're not as flavorful as those from Watsonville, blueberries are starting to ripen.

March 9 update

The early tulips and daffodils have been blooming for over a week as has the muscari.

The peach and nectarine are in full bloom and the Winter Nellis is beginning to bloom but not the Comice.  I have been attempting hand pollination with blooms from some of the Flowering Pears in the area.  Both of the apricots have set fruit.  I sprayed the apricot, peach and nectarine thees with copper and neem oil before bloom (Early February?) and once or twice before that.  It has been a dry winter until now but we seem to be in for at least a week of rain.

Tomato seedlings, Better Bush and Season Starter , planted Feb 6, are getting a third leaf.  Agro, planted Feb 14 have two healthy leaves and have been transplanted into individual peet pots.  Eggplant and peppers planted at the same time as Agro Tomatoes are just showing signs of true leaves.
