wild_forager Unless you can find information on soil temps, it's hard to give any worthwhile advice about planting similar crops. A lot of people test their own, either with a soil thermometer or one of those meat probe cooking thermometers -- you just poke them into the soil, wait about 30 seconds and see what shows up! As for containers, their temperature is pretty dependent on ambient temps unless they're huge. You can measure the soil temps in them the same way. I don't usually plnat things in containers quite as soon as in the earth, though if you can move your containers to an inside spot if the temps are going to fall below freezing, you might be able to plant things relatively early since they warm up rapidly during the day. I have nine self-watering containers ready to go, sitting out on the deck waiting for warmer weather where I'll plant carrots in a couple of them. Also green onions after they sprout in their inside flat.

Sure, I'll try. If you are starting a thread. like Stir_fryi did this one, you need to wait to add the link. So just do your post, without the link (you can refer to it however) then do a preview. Page down on your preview until you see the message box again. Under the massage box is a space called 'Optional Link URL:' that's where you paste the link that you copied on the actual page from the address bar. Under that is the 'Name of the Link' space where you can give the link a name which will show up at the bottom of your post. Click on 'Preview Message' under the Name of Link and your message will show up with the link included at the bottom. You can even try the link to make sure it works, just be sure to arrow back after checking so that you can submit the post. If you want to add a link in a thread that someone else started....forget the first part of these instructions ...just paste the link in the URL that is already under the message box. There's also a way to insert the link in the body of the message and/or do multiple links. I have those instructions written down somewhere..... I just usually do it this way, 'cause it's easier.
