Still a risk of frost, “official” last frost is May 30 here.
With that many nights in a row, I would hold off. I do tend to put things in the ground a bit early here (recently converted to 6a), and I’ll put a tarp over everything if needed, but that’s too many nights in a row to overcome my laziness with tarping.
That’s the honesty I love seeing. You’re right, it could be done, but the effort for the extra week is just uggghh. And they aren’t hardened off yet anyways, so risk vs reward isn’t leaning that way. I’ve got some seeds I could risk though.
That day that’s rain and 5 above is just teasing snow without them saying it. The rain turned to snow for about 30 minutes this morning as well.
Can you start anything inside?
Our first planting day was moved up by two weeks in Kentucky. We were zone 6A but are now 7B.
Of course! Started them about a month ago, and I’ll start hardening them off next week. I’ll even try planting some lettuce and peas and if I need to replant them it’s an experiment.
I’ve also got some clear containers that should work as a little cold frame for smaller seedlings if needed.
The peppers aren’t going to be large/old enough so I’ll need to buy some from the nursery.
Lots more to go in than this though, lots of carrots, radishes and lettuces for example.
