I set out some of my plants as early as I could but was hampered by the very cool greenhouse temps. My plants though seeded early just grew very slow due to lack of light and heat. I was finally able to set some out on March 16 and some more on March 19. The rest had to wait for my brocolli, cabbage, lettuce, Bussel Sprouts and rutabagas to finish so I had a place to put some more. I'm still setting out plants every time it cools off for a few days and just finished tilling up my last bed where carrots and broccoli just finished. I wish I still had my rabbit pen because I don't know what I'll do with 40 lbs of carrots. I'm still hoping the second half of the summer will be cooler than it is starting out and all of the late plantings will have a chance.
