Makes sense. You guys have probably not had too cold of a spring. I'm just up north here in MD.
How is this possible? I'm in 7a (Alabama) and I'm just getting ready to plant. Were you in a greenhouse? We just had our last frost 15 days ago.
South facing back porch. I did have to throw a blanket over it about 3 weeks ago when we had a few days in the 40s. 2nd year in a row with cold fronts in April.
Damn, what zone?
