Wow, good job! VERY impressive. ;D
My only suggestion to you would be to hold on for a while, and wait for the nest optimal time to get your plants in the ground.
I have to say that I go by astrology to determine some things. A lot is based on experience, but also based on age- old wisdom.
The absolute best time to set your plants in the ground is after late April 25, and all day of April 26. The Moon is just past being Full, and in a water sign (Scorpio). This is a perfect time to put your seedlings in the ground. They will develop excellent roots, and be ready to charge out of the gate two weeks later.
Let me know if your conditions are too wet even then, and I can suggest the next best time, based on astrology. Good job, and good luck! ;D

The Size of your Success can be Measured by the Strength of your Desire !!!
There is a difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT. When you are INTERESTED in something you do it only when it is CONVIENIENT. When you are COMMITED to something you ACCEPT NO EXCUSES and PRODUCE ONLY RESULTS.

JC, there is a pretty good time to start seeds coming VERY soon. It is during the time as the Moon keeps getting bigger, which is now, but this time in an earth sign, Virgo. It is better if it is in a water sign, like Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer. Next best time is when it is in an earth sign, especially Taurus and Virgo. I'm kinda skeptical of Capricorn. Virgo favors flowers, if you wanted good flowers, this is a good time for that! ;D
It starts very close to 7:08 PM tonight, April 20, your time, on the east coast, (EDT) through 3:24 AM, Tuesday morning, the 23rd. Not too shabby, but it's always better if you can start seeds when the Moon is in a water sign, I think, and always as the Moon increases in size, which is after the New Moon, as soon as when it is in the next water sign.
The next time that the Moon is in a water sign (Scorpio) it is after the Full Moon. That is not a good time for starting seeds, but a good time to plant underground crops, and for starting cuttings that will develop roots, or transplanting. When the Moon is shrinking in size, which is after the Full Moon, and moving toward a New Moon, it favors underground growth. That is Thursday afternoon about 2 PM, your time, and all day Friday, the 26th, but before 7:31 AM, Saturday the 27th. It will then move into the sign of Sagittarius. Poor for underground planting.
Good luck with your gardens! ;D

It's kind of out there a ways, but the next best possible time for seed starting is May 13, 14, and up to noon of the 15th. Not that it couldn't be done sooner than that. This is based on astrology.
The reason I say that those are great seed starting days is because it is right after the New Moon, when there is a reversal of energy, promoting the start of growth above ground. Those days also coincide with the Moon being in a water sign, which will be Cancer. There would be a better than average amount of seeds germinating, which would take off like crazy as the Moon keeps getting bigger and bigger until it is full. Then, the seedlings could be transplanted right after the Full Moon, when it is in another water sign, which would be in the sign of Pisces. Underground growth is favored then. That would be all day May 31, and June 1. I'ts out there, I know. That's when I'll be planting my tomatoes and cucumbers into the ground. This is a crazy year with winter not letting go. Good luck with your gardens!
