jdmidwest Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Spring is in the air. Easter flowers are popping up. Bees are brooding up and getting ready. Maples are in bloom and we have a few days of no rain. Time to drop some lettuce in the raised beds. Be a good Valentine and plant lettuce.

Seen they are catching swarms in South Georgia. awhuber, bfishn and Quillback 2 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

Quillback Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I plan on planting a bunch of sugar snap peas this spring. Probably start about mid-March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmidwest Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 I would drop them in now, you are far enough south. They will sprout. I plant lettuce and snow peas this week in raised beds normally. I will cover then with plexiglass and if it warms up, they will come up. Both are cold hardy and will stand up to frost pretty well.

tho1mas Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hey - Has to be the 14th (Valentine's Day). Sun, rain, sleet or snow- Spinach, lettuce & onions are good to go in the ground or on the ground. This is what my old Daddy always told me (some times it didn't work out).

jdmidwest Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Game on and I beat the rush this year. Came home this afternoon and cleaned off a raised bed. It hoe'd up good and I seeded it with spinach, buttercrunch, black seed simpson, and snow peas. Put the cover on and let her rip. Calling for rain later on this week. Cleaned off the asparagus. Looked at the strawberry bed and left it for later, ran out of daylight. tho1mas, Quillback and BilletHead 3 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.
