A Little Itchy to Garden

The last couple weeks we have had a few days in the 50s and 60s, which means that most of the snow has melted.  Which is making me itchy to get out and garden.  I have been slightly obsessed and fantasizing about planting spring, cool weather veggies.  Been clearing parts of the garden and have seen some herbs with new growth and a few flowers too, but the ground is too wet to actually plant yet.  The tons of snow that melted over the last few weeks and the rain that we got all day yesterday hasn't helped in this dilemma. The ground is saturated.  So I restlessly sleep, fantasizing about spinach, radishes, peas, lettuce, onions, swiss chard, carrots and beets.  Dreaming about the first shoots bursting through the soil.  Watching and waiting earnestly as they grow into mature edible plants.
If you garden, what do you plant in Spring?  Do you plant in Spring or wait until frost is not likely and the ground is warmer?
