Up there in zone 5, you should be good to go. I doubt warm weather will roll in now!! Scratch that itch!! I started here in zone 7b, but only the ones that need stratification or some other pre treatment. Have fun!

Just WS my first containers today. LOL. Was too busy doing SASBE until now. I was good, though. Made labels from miniblinds, collected milk jugs, bought soil, made newspaper pots AND cleaned up the basement to make room for my WS. SOOO I was pretty well set to get started. We had 6" of snow + 2 more since Thursday. I AM set for WS. :-D

Yep Menards is where I went. We had a lot of snow and they did not shovel. All my favorite promix was hidden behind 2-3 feet of snow... lol Now that we are melting I am going to go out there and get some snow or not! My menards had all the dirt/soil outside in an area where the snow blew in all over. I plan to check it out tonight or tomorrow to get some of the awesome promix! I loved it last year. Karen

I don't have a gh but do have a hoop house on my raised bed. I have lots of things going in there that I planted in early March. Even with the wild winter weather we have been experiencing (I live in SE MI also) everything looks happy and healthy. I will list what I have off the top of my head but I am sure I will miss some...various leaf lettuce, spinach, kale, swiss chard, radishes, beets, carrots, potatoes, garlic, shallots, mache...well probably lots more since it is pretty packed. It measures 4'x10' in size. Oh yeah the peas are starting to pop up today. Kim

Hi there! I'm soaking some winter pink banana squash seeds to hopefully start later today in pots. Grew them last year [bush type, available from The Cook's Garden] and loved them! Doing the same with some Fordhook zuchini seeds. This time of year, I start an assortment and see which ones survive and bear the longest before succumbing to all manner of bugs and maladies here in the Mid Atlantic region. Last year, neem oil and hot pepper/soap spray helped us actually get a nice harvest in spite of a swarm of squash bugs.....we burned our patch afterwards. I'm wondering how it will be this year, but am determined to start early....

Funny thing is that most Zone 5'rs are feeling like they are in Zone 7 this winter.....

Really too. I haven't started yet. I thought I was too busy, but maybe it was intuition...lol...last week topped out at 60 degrees! My poor iris's got confused, and thought it was spring!

Kim, I think the "little men in the white coats" are coming for my forsythia. they had yellow flowers on them for the third time since Dec. Now it's freezing out again and they are talking about 50's near 60 on Sat. then more rain and maybe a bit of snow on sunday. It's Tuesday that could be a real big storm, maybe a white noreaster. Ya right.
Haven't started yet, vowed I would wait till Feb. like I did last year and ended up with way, way more seedlings than I could even give away.
Maybe I'll start this weekend before the big snowstorm. LOL
