Here's a timely article from NPR about how many of us are experiencing warmer temps than normal this winter and are really eager to get out there much earlier than normal and plant!

Thanks for posting that NwMtGardener! An early Spring can never be a bad thing, anything to get us gardeners busy in the dirt :tools .

I got two raised beds ready tonight and I am planning on planting next week. Just lettuce, cabbage, onions and hopefully broccoli which isn't quite big enough yet but hopefully it goes out in 2-3 weeks. I already did the math, figuratively and I am going with it. It is early for here, I had to cover plants on May 20th, 3 years ago. But every year is different and you have to let Mother Nature be the boss. This year I think she is saying lets get on with this already, just so long as Jack Frost stays on his European vacation.

I'm a 3b-4a now. Of course I live in a town on the cusp of 2 zones, heaven forbid I get to do cut-and-dried plant selection.

I've got some lovely cauliflower starts that need some more room. Maybe this weekend.... I guess I could get burned, but I'm really feeling like spring is here. The birds are back, the peepers are peeping - I think it's here!
