Although our last frost date is around May 1st.. we usually cant get into the community garden I garden in until around Memorial weekend.Only once have I known them to open early.. sigh.. we do what we must. I can and do plant a few things around the house.. I have garlic growing in my front bed, and I had a chard plant go to seed last year and it reseeded all over the place.. so Im assuming there will be thousands of baby chard plants in addition to the hundreds of "Gardeners Delight" cherry tomatoes that come up all over my tiny front yard garden.. literally, hundreds. <br />Sure wish I had about 2 acres outside my back door to do my playing in the dirt.. ;) KimHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515650243247221967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-7493101921725024022013-03-12T20:34:57.723-05:002013-03-12T20:34:57.723-05:00Premium Crop has been my faithful stand-by broccol...Premium Crop has been my faithful stand-by broccoli here in zone 4b. I always plant it and at least one other variety every spring. On my planting schedule, the cole crops are started next week. I also start more broccoli seedlings in July for transplanting at the beginning of August for late September harvest.Shepherdess55https://www.blogger.com/profile/10649034708458147137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-22455833250659880162013-03-12T17:22:50.929-05:002013-03-12T17:22:50.929-05:00all your starts look wonderful, amazing, thrilling...all your starts look wonderful, amazing, thrilling, exciting...!! can you tell we too are ready for spring...?? we have planted Early Alaska peas and your Champion of England for the first time... also we have our spinach and onions in the ground here in zone 7a... tomato starts (Brandywine, Black Krim, Mortgage Lifter and Ananas Noire varieties all new to us) are looking great inside under lights as is the Calabrese broccoli... but now I am SO worried... I believe myself to be one of your most faithful readers but I surely did not remember your posts about that being a sprouting broccoli... :(( years and years ago we had the most huge broccoli heads the size of dinner plates... I credited their success to mushroom compost we used in the West Tn garden that year... never have had access to that kind of compost since we moved back to Kentucky... and looks like we sure won't this year with that sprouting kind... oh well, we will try and get it in the ground this weekend and like you say, live and learn... thanks for all the sharing you do... consider us inspired...!!circulatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503804083310105325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-29784660072978929132013-03-12T17:06:33.547-05:002013-03-12T17:06:33.547-05:00Wow, wonderful head start.
