In March planning the new season begins in earnest. Having tractored the plots in the fall, the ground looks pretty good. Usually March is cold and too soggy to work the soil, but this dry winter allows us to begin sooner.

I will try planting cool-weather crops in mid-March and see how the early start goes this year. Lettuce, radish, kale, chives, dill, cilantro can tolerate some light frosts and are fast growers.
