anything even though I had <a href=\"http:\/\/ericsorganicgarden.com\/blog\/first-partial-tilling\/\">tilled part of the garden<\/a> the week before.\u00a0 I was hoping to get my spinach plants transplanted by this past weekend, but because of the cold and rain I was unable to do that.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>After all the rain and cold weather I finally had a somewhat warm day that I could use and place my plants into the garden.\u00a0 Today was that day and finished planting them this morning.<\/p>\n<p>I needed to get them done this morning because later on today it is supposed to rain again.\u00a0 It is forecast that we might get up to one inch of rain or more depending on a number of factors.<\/p>\n<p>Since the ground was still wet along with my spinach plants I didn&#8217;t add water to them like I do with most of my plants.\u00a0 Usually in the summer I add water because it helps the roots separate from the potted soil and gets acclimated to the garden soil easier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ericsorganicgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Picture-1-019-Test.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1305\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
