Today I planted snow peas in the veg garden, the first direct sowing of the year.  I’ve covered them with weed barrier to protect them from the varmints until they germinate.  I think (don’t quote me) the worst of winter is past as of this week; the forecast is for 60s and days of rain.  From here on out it will be constant gardening tasks for me.  It beats listening to constant dire warnings about coronavirus all day long.  If I drop dead, at least I’ll do it gardening!
