Oh - My Sad Garden!

I came home determined to whip my garden into shape this week so I can plant this weekend.  I always try to plant the last weekend of April.  This is shaping up to be a warm year so I don't want to miss any sunny days! 

For perspective, check out my garden last May when I just getting things into the ground.

And today it's completely overgrown.

I hacked away at it today and now it looks like this.

I'm going to try and do a little more every day.  I have a junky cold right now that makes my voice croaky, but my body is working just fine other than being tired. 

Here are some photos of what turned up today:

Several of these guys were present - any ideas on what it is and if it's a pest?

Maybe a larval stage?  Or albino?

Biggest root of the day

Really big earthworms

Wish me luck!  I hope to put at least the tomatoes and lettuces in this weekend.
