Not at all..... A lot of people don't plant until after Easter.

You have time to get it done if you get after it.

I got some tomatoes plants that are a foot tall now. I may cover them with a 5 gallon bucket Tue night.

My green beans are about 3" tall. I am trying to decide what is best way to protect them.

You still have plenty of time. I've been bit in the arse too many times because I got impatient and planted before Easter. You can always count on that Easter cool spell. Some of the peppers that I want I havent even ordered the seeds yet.

Get some 6-10 cans from a cafeteria, put the open end over the plant. They'll be okay as long as the frost doesn't get on the leaves.
