Season starts in about a month. Hopefully some coriander, parsley and green salad. Maybe a few strawberry plants.

Re: 2021 Garden Thread
I'm fixing Collards and Okra today and wishing for a Garden spot has crossed my mind many this morning.
Good Luck with the Veggies, Friend

Slow start. And scaling back. We haven't yet bought our tomato seedlings, but are thinking of 2-4 different kinds, one pepper, and some beans. The only things out there now are green onion stubs.
Moink!

You should be able to pick up some lettuce plants in that part of the country

I really like the Cherokee Carbon (we always called them Cherokee Purples) - - they're my favorite slice sprinkle and eat Mater.

Re: 2021 Garden Thread
We recorded a low of 35.1 F out back, without any frost bite ;-) A buddy in Bowie had all his covered in workshirts, looked like munchkin scarecrows
That Cherokee Carbon is a F1 hybrid of two open pollinated purple tomatoes, Cherokee Purple x Carbon.
Its supposed to be more productive from hybrid vigor. It seems earlier than either parent, we have some greenies on it at 8 weeks + 3 days sown.
