It's definitely time to plant. Used to be the time to plant was after March 15th when the last danger of frost had passed, but even our USDA zone has changed. It used to be 8b, now it's 9a. That's a big change.

Spring arrives like a lion
As spring is arriving like Secretariat in the final stretch, I wonder about having a spring veggie garden this year. I hope to at least plant some tomatoes, green beans, squash and eggplants. I have to harvest the onions that have been growing all winter to free up that space. My garden beds are all raised so the crawfish will not build their chimneys right up through them. When the ground is wet, the crawfish need to breathe, so build their chimneys up to 6" about the ground. Makes the egrets and herons happy, but me, not so much.

Time to stop rambling and start my day in the fields. Or dream about moving to the top of Dodd Mountain in Mountain View AR. Dodd Mountain is about elevation 1200 feet. Doncha know the air is thin up there :lol:
