I am putting mine out today. I will put a light weight cold frame over
them until the nights are consistantly warmer. The cold frame is made
form 1/2 inch PVC pipe with plastic sheeting stretched over it.
Not Pretty but it works.

This year I started the lettuce and some early tomatoes in the little
compressed peat pellets that all garden supplies are selling in 72 pak
with a plastic tray and clear plastic cover. Very close to 100%
germination in less than a week.

Yeah, I've gottena few of those, but haven't yet planted them. Will start
today.

I have a ton of seedlings started in my kitchen all doing well.
I have the 4 shelf plastic greenhouse with cover and it is working quite
well.

Getting them planted next month will be another story

Mmm, turnips. I've just started cooking with them and love them. Can they be
sown directly this early, or should I sprout them first?

This time of year you will only get greens. You have to plant late
summer to fall to get the root. The heat here will make them bold and
go to seed before the roots are well formed.
