I have about 6 huge beds of lettuce. My first one will be ready by the middle of next week. Lettuce to eat by may in Pa.. I can see the little carrots all mexed in the beds. Also a few radish are amoung the lettuce sprouts. a few spinach also mixed in can be seen. I seem to only plant mixe of vegatables any more. I never plant anything by itself. You can always trans plant anything that is too close. I put some of my early cabbage out this past weekend. Has anyone started their sunflower seeds I sent them yet. Now is the time to start them indoors for a week before the frost will be gone. I started something new with my garden. I go to a horse farm to get old piles of sawdust horse manure. I like the saw dust better than the straw since the grass seed in the straw or hay dos not grow in the garden. I get a large plastic 2 mill bag and put about 40 pounds of manure then I have it when I need it and it doen not get wasted and I can take it to my other garden 50 miles away in my van. Worked great this week! Next week beans and zucc, and cukes! Of course I will mix radishes with all of them and maybe some marigolds and nesturians and 4 clocks!

Gonna plant my sunflowers this weekend. Just been so busy trying to get the yard and garden in shape between all the rain. Today it's in the garden gonna plant as much as possible from cabbage to kidney beans to squash. Hope to get the whole north garden planted, then I can concentrate on the south garden.

Just plant a couple and when a frost is due put a bottle ve it for the night. I like to have some early ones that bloom in july and I have then all summr. I suggest make a small patch about 3by 3 and start them and just put a old window or plastic over them on a real cold night. You can transplant to other areas when you have 30 up in one spot! they are also nice in post where they may only grow 1/3 of their size and look nice! |

I think you would be ok to go ahead and plant the seeds, buzzy. It would probably take 7 to 10 days before they even came up. The ground temp is warm enough it's not going to hurt the seed. It would be the plants already up that the freezing temps would kill.
