Have you started planting yet?

**DJ1972** · 03-26-2009, 10:55 PM

And if so, what do you have in the ground? What else are you planting?

Dh has had a sore back for the last couple of days, and since he works 10 hours a day, I haven't bugged him about tilling up my garden. I was hoping he would do it today, but no such luck. This weekend is the new plan. I offered to do it, but he is a man, and wants to run the big tiller himself, lol. So, I am hoping to start planting next week!

Just the cold weather stuff so far: I have planted asparagus, sugar pod peas, carrots, kale, lettuce, onions, cabbage, chard, purple sprouting broccoli, kohlrabi and expanded my strawberry patch.

Dh planted sugar snap peas about 2 weeks ago. They are beginning to sprout.

So far, for a little garden, I have planted tomatoes, sweet peas, a blackberry bush, sage, thyme and basil.

I have also had to replace some of my landscape plants in my front flower bed. The freeze we had took out about 1/2 of my plants.

Haven't planted anything yet, looks like now I will have to wait awhile.
Were going to plant last weekend and decided to put in a couple more inches of compost. It's all ready to go, but now I have a foot of snow on top of it, so guess i'll wait again...

I have seedlings in pots in the basement. Tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers... Won't be planting time for about 3 more weeks. They are predicting snow tonight or tomorrow. I hope it doesn't kill the early blooming trees.

I have seed trays going right now. A few hundred plants possibly when they all sprout and are ready to be planted.

I never plant anything before Good Friday.

It is still early here for planting most things as our last frost date is about mid april...but we have planted broc., cabbage, cauliflower and 100 lbs of potatoes. We will be planting our carrots and onions this weekend, along with some spinich and swiss chard. We will not be able to put out our main garden till about the 3rd week or later in april. we cant wait!!!

**Ceashels** · 03-31-2009, 08:33 AM

Swiss chard, leaf lettuce blend, spring onions are in the window boxes. I have mini pots of zucchini and yellow squash in my portable green house and I'm hoping its not too early for them to be there.

I tilled the garden early. After that, we have had a lot of rain. I haven't gotten anything in the ground. I am not complaining since we are coming off a horrible drought. I still have time and have yet to panic. Things always have a way of working themselves out.

**thefrug** · 03-31-2009, 09:03 AM

I'll be planting both bush and pole peas, carrots and throw some lettuce seeds in the ground today.

**Michelle** · 03-31-2009, 10:07 AM

No--I wish! It's still too cold, and we still have snow on the ground.

**MomToTwoBoys** · 03-31-2009, 10:11 AM

I wish! We got slammed with almost a foot of snow on Sunday and there's a ton in the backyard. I don't forsee anything coming in until at least the end of April or beginning of May.
