It's much warmer than usual this season, how does that figure in your planting?

Normally this time of year the ground is still frozen and can't be worked. What I'm planting now can be planted as soon as the soil can be worked, even if we may have another cold snap. Pea seeds expected today so they will go in this afternoon.

I set up a calendar with planting/starting dates back from our last expected frost dates. This year I'm going with earlier expected frost date for the calendar.

Seeds have different ideal germination temperature ranges, As you can see spinach will do well at current ground temps. Carrots best wait probably a month.

1/2 Row of Snap Peas planted today, gonna plant the 2nd half in 2 to 3 weeks to extend the crop.

Broccoli, Swiss Chard, and lettuce seeded in flats.

Getting ready to plow the fields. Front weight mount fabricated for a Cub Cadet using the front of a wide frame mule drive and a weight mount from a new Cub Cadet.

I suppose it's less messy than a couple of plow horses.

Ready for transplanting as soon as this weekends coming snow melts!

Here are the onion seedlings, first up way back on Feb 11.

 This is about 2 months of growing under the grow lights. Ready for transplanting 04/07.

Nice pix, perfect plants.

My imaginary large patio would have lots of small fruit trees and big pots of salads and herbs.  

or my hydroponic factory for greens and in vitro meats.   

Ready to plow!

Off we go!
