Just wondering what you all have on order, or plans to buy when you hit
the ground running after the last frost.

I've got.. Oh gosh.. Alot of stuff ordered and coming in. Just got 4
grape vines and 5 blueberry bushes in today. I've got some leaf mold
piled up from the fall leaves that I'm going to mulch them with when I
get them in the ground this weekend.

Bunch of other stuff coming.. Some shrubs, pile of flowers, etc..

So how about you all.. Ready for that last frost?
I've got some seeds I have to get started. But with more snow tonight, I'm
having hard time getting excited about spring. Feel like I'm trapped in
endless winter.

It's winter time Cheryl. It's winter time. Sorry, but it's true.

When can you normally get into the garden? Six to eight weeks is good
lead time for transplants.

I know - and some years I might be able to start clean up now. With 10 more
inches headed my way, it could be May.

When is the ground warm enough for tomatoes? Here in my hilly, coastal,
northern California habitat, it is usually mid-May, and June before the
ground gets to 70F and the vines really start to push.
