I have over 100 seedlings I want to put out, but I don't want to lose them to frost. What do you all think?
The ground is like powder here, No consistancy to the weather, either it pours or it is dry.I've had to water .
My peas are up about 3 inches.
I picked some leaf lettuce this afternoon.
(just a handful, but it counts ! )
Cauliflower, broccoli and spinach are out . (they can go out early anyway)
Carrots look good this year so far. I tried beets early and have one of those white tunnel blankets over them. The control beet seeds in the greenhouse are quite a bit further along, but at least the ones outside haven't froze.
I used to always wait for memorial weekend for cold sensitive like tomatoes and squash but will bump up a couple weekends this year.
I've had to water .
Except for peas, I've never had anything in the ground this early to water.
Usually I'm fighting the wet trying to get compost turned in.
Which I tried to do last Fall after the Halloween snow, but the tiller wouldn't start.
I've seen cucumbers on full size plants growing in large tubs in another person's greenhouse. There are a few varieties that will do well in or out. My space is too small for really big things (8x14) solar gain, attached to the south side of the house.Forecast here is talking about mid 20s as a low next week. Brrr haha. Highs are in the 50s at least though, snow is melting pretty good! And 18 hours of daylight now too.
Awww man, update on how your stuff did through this recent frost? Im so glad i waited now... ill give it one more week then go for it!
