In my yard I always want to know when to start that garden going? I need to know when the frost will be over, when the ground is about 50 degrees and when it hits about 70 degrees. I don't need it to be exact. I'm old fashioned. I watch the earth and let it tell me what's going on. When the nights are around 40-50 degrees and the days turn sunny and warm, the chives and early blooming perenials start to show up. That's when I know it's time to get things like seed potatoes, onion bulbs, and elephant garlic ready to go out. I also plant cabbage, broc and cauliflower, lettuce and spinach seeds started in the house. Of course I add a few bedding flowers to fill in the perennial beds as well.
Russian Sage coming up.
chives coming up too...
