Default Spring garden?

When's everyone starting? I'm ready to get started since my winter garden didn't produce this year.

Going to till the garden again tomorrow. My tomatoes are really getting big. I bought them about a month ago and repotted them into bigger pots. They stay inside when it's cold and I move them into the sun on the warm days. Can't wait to get them in the ground. Watching the pecan trees for those first leaves!!

Plantin' ya garden before the pecan tree buds open is rollin'da dice. ya either gonna be a gardening hero or zero. The only bad thing about frost bit plants is ya gotta plant them again and now ya on track with every body else. No problem for us small space gardeners cause ya only outa a doller worth of seeds. Large scale gardeners like truck farms etc are lots less willin to gamble the risk of replanting. I stuck beans in the ground last month, hoping they would sprout later. So far so good I plan to post a square foot up date later.

The 2 best gardeners that I knew said to never break the ground during Lent. Keep that in mind, I tilled mine before lent, I'll plant the week after Easter.

I've used the Louisiana Vegetable Planting guide for the last 30 years for planting time. It has done well for me. It can be found on the LSU Ag center web site.
