Its time to start our seeds. How do we know that? Because some really smart people somewhere, (probably a bunch of old school farmers) figured out that the the world is made up of different climates and have different growing seasons, then they organized it for us. Thanks guys!
We are in zone 6. That means we can expect that the last time we'll see a freeze will be around April 15. We may still see flurries or a some frost on the ground, but nothing like our recent white death episode should strike again after April 15.
Which means... It's time! Brassica's were safe to plant indoors starting at the beginning of February and we can start seeding root veggies directly into the ground. So go ahead.. you plant those Beet seeds! Tell your Carrots how proud you are of them for this next journey of their lives and pop 'em in the ground!
I really like the calendar that Veggie Harvest put together for zone 6. Click the picture below to see their site. I use this guide often when I'm not sure when I'm not sure when the best time is to plant different veggies. I don't follow it exactly though. I start a lot of my cool weather crops indoors earlier than it suggests. Gardeners get to play by their own rules. ;)
