Re: Lawn & Garden Thread
Most likely and since we get warm so quickly here, that is why I start mine in the Fall then it resumes growing once the ground warms up in March or April. Last winter was so mild that it grew a little bit at times during Jan and Feb.

Before progress, back when Boone Co was more rural, we used to pick wild blackberries as kids and my Mom would make a pie out of it. Good stuff!

Re: Lawn & Garden Thread
I still have cabbage plants with heads the size of a softballs, and the lettuce plants are putting out new leaves. I never covered anything when we had few colder temps. If I could get more sun late fall , the garden would definitely be rockin

Re: Lawn & Garden Thread
Lawn is starting to green up nicely now and my spinach is doing good. If we don't see a cool down soon, we'll be mowing in March this year. I try and hold off until April a lot of years but 2024 could be different.

Re: Lawn & Garden Thread
Another season upon us . Been building a new cold frame to start some early veggies shortly . Already started some lettuce and cabbage plant seeds indoors and they’re up. Going to start some bunching onions in the next day or so . I’m ready to get busy and out of another boring winter.

Re: Lawn & Garden Thread
Redbuds, viburnum, crab apples among trees and shrubs blooming currently. Don’t expect the current cold spell and predicted temps near freezing to harm anything.
Edit: forecast now calling for lows to get into the 20’s Saturday , that’s a different story and some damage can occur

Re: Lawn & Garden Thread
I am going to harvest some spinach, first of the season, this Friday! Leaves are getting almost big enough to cut. I'll set out the chive pot probably in a couple more weeks.

Re: Lawn & Garden Thread
I'm probably going to cut the rest of my spinach this week as those 5 days in a row of 80 we went thru, have caused the plants to go to seed a little bit early. Almost time to get my bean seeds sowed once we get past this (I hope) last frost threat Thurs morning.
