Rather belatedly, but the only thing I get excited about in the garden - peppers and tomatoes - doesn't like going in the ground too early, not in NYC.
After peppers and tomatoes I like herbs, and after that anything else edible. I appreciate flowers... in other people's gardens. I can't muster up much enthusiasm for them in mine, though, unless I tell myself they're there for the pollinators and even then it's just nothing special.
Anyway, I only have one goal for this year, which is to utterly demolish all ragweed. With that in mind, I told everybody I don't care what they put in the beds, so long as they let me prepare them so as to maximize our ability to kill the ragweed. Consequently they didn't get a single variety of tomato I would've picked out. Oh well.
