I'm looking at the long-range forecast for my weather, and it looks like the last freeze is going to be this weekend. Gardens are going in next week.
I have radishes,spinach,beets,snow peas,lettuce,onions,cabbage and Brussels sprouts that have gone thru 5-6 frosts, all looking pretty good. Potatoes,kale and turnips aren't up yet. I need to get tomato plants in, the first ones I started are over a foot tall, but it's been 70 degrees one day, frost a couple nights later...
