I’ll admit that my garden and tender seedlings I’ve been raising have become a bit of an obsession.  But can you blame me?  These pepper, tomato, and broccoli seedlings started out as small and weak little green stems but they’ve matured into stronger mature plants now (I planted the seed indoors back in late February). 

 I’ve been keeping them outside during the day in a rigged up cold frame that’s basically a wooden buried in the dirt that’s covered with two old windows.  It basically heats up like a greenhouse and stays milder at night.

What can you plant now?  Heartier Lettuce goes in soon, I’ve put in some broccoli, onions, and potatoes can be buried.  The problem is finding enough time to get it all done!  My advice, take it one step at a time and visit your local garden center or nursery for advice.
