Plans for the spring?

What are you all planning for this spring? I'm thinking cucumbers, radishes, lettuce, and strawberries for me. Marigolds to fend away a bug or two. I only container garden, so I have to get myself a decent trellis before the season starts. Maybe this year I'll actually use compost. What about you?

Well, today was going to be finish with the raised beds, but the incredible amount of rain stopped that plan.

I'm looking at tomatoes (of course), carrots in a month or so getting started (I live in a subtropical area, they don't get much time), melons, and a few small dye plants (safflower and whatnot).

It gets too hot for most melons here, so usually by early June they have to be done growing.
