Today is April 6th and the weather keeps fluctuating. One day it's 38 and cold, the next it's 68 and we are sweating. We are all hopeful for the return of warm weather and it keeps taunting us with the sunny days. The truth of the matter is, we are ready to plant outside but it is not time yet. We are jumping the gun. The frost free date is May 15th. (Easy way to remember this date every year "think of mom at mothers day, then plant the next week.") Until then, watch the weather daily for a closer look. Once that date passes, we can all go for it and get plant crazy. But for those of us who can not wait, what can we plant now?
Lettuce
Kale
Spinach
and other cold weather veggies. Besides these, sit tight and hold off till May 15th.
