My early daffs have passed bloom time already, so you must be zone 6 or maybe even 5.

I have strawberry plants with blossoms in one raised bed. This was the warmest February I have ever seen.  They were planted about one month ago.  This is zone 7b or 8a, hard to tell anymore.

 Planning to plant one entire bed in dill and one in cilantro.. five beds are 3'x8', so not huge. I will freeze the heads and seeds for seasoning, and to share, since these are so horribly expensive. And I will purchase tomato plants and get them in, in about 6 weeks.  There are just too many seeds in a package for one person. 

Am planting this week, outside, cayenne pepper and mild jalapeno directly in the beds… can you spell salsa garden?  Yum yum.  It is nearly 80 degrees today. 

When the tomatoes go in, I will do another complete raised bed in cucumbers on a trellis. 

Starting under lights has never worked for me, so I am going to stop doing what does not work!  Seedlings are always either long and leggy or damp off after the first set of leaves. Onions and cabbage have always been failures, and a friend gives me fabulous elephant garlic.

OH, forgot, I have huckleberry seeds to plant, had forgotten that. That will be a first. Hope it works.  And I hope the raspberry vines bear well this year.

So, garden results this year will be salsa, fig jam (three fig bushes), huckleberry jam, strawberry jam, mixed berry jam, and hot dill and garlic cucumbers.  No real food at all, just the condiments.

Holstein woman, I can relate.  Last year was my year to neglect the garden and move.  I got kale and spinach and stuff in the garden, but other than that we relied on farmer's markets and our neighbor's bounty. 

This year I have heirloom tomato seedlings and peppers and basil growing in the seedling pots, but no beds yet, because I'm in a new place and still have to build them.  I also have a potato condo set up, with no potatoes out yet.  (we plant Yukon Golds- LOVE them!)  I also plan to plant my typical greens- chard, lettuces, mesclun mix.  So far I have kale and cress left over from the fall planting, but still need to do the spring planting….  so a slow start, but at least I'm starting! 

I *will* tell you that last year, even though we moved, we found tomatoes at the farmer's market in August for 50 cts a pound, and we ended up canning.  That was one of the few things we had unpacked- the canning stuff, but we canned.  And we LOVED those tomatoes all winter, even though this year I'm hoping for my OWN tomatoes in the cans!  :) 

Good luck with your move. It always sucks, but good luck! 

what to do with aphids on my new seedlings.  I am losing all my plants I started.  I tried soapy water, I tried a recipe I found on line with 1cup water and 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol an little soap.  Any other suggestions.  I am ready to throw them out an start over.

I don't think we have any of those around right now. LOL
