    Potatoes are in. The rest of the plot is tilled and ready, seedlings are growing in the window and now we wait until the chance of frost is over.

    Hopefully this year is better than last

    Probably wont put the rest in until memorial day. These parts have a record of a late frost. I've been burned before planting tomatos and cukes to early.
    Glad I'm slow on the gardening this year. Frost expected for low lying areas in G.R..I'm 40 miles North and higher ground.It looks like maybe a freeze

    I used to try to get a jump on things by Mothers day weekend and was burned bad twice. Hard frost wiped me out had to start over. So around here the risk is huge if you put in before Memorial day weekend.

    Memorial Day is the norm here, but with the warm winter we had & the seed starters popping up, I started early & almost got toasted. I would have figured you would have a bigger garden.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!

    Planting mine memorial weekend. Sunny and in the 70's here so I think I'm safe from frost.

    Got my first hand full of ripe plums. The tree is LOADED!! I'll have enough to make lots of jam and wine this year. An excess amount even with nature's cut. Blackberrys are loaded too. And judging by the pecan trees it's gonna be a bumper crop!
