Glad we waited to plant anything. Beautiful shot, but frustrating for the gardener

Haven't posted a picture of it, but we 3 8' grow lights inside that we start most of our stuff under. Already have a ton of stuff ready for the garden. Tomatoes, onions, parsnips, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, peppers, beans, sweet potatoes, and some others im probably forgetting. Bunch of other stuff we direct sow here in a month or so.

Gardens actually just a touch bigger than our house at this point actually, lol.

Why would you rush it? Weather is always unpredictable and there are always cold snaps in april

Cold hardies would be fine, but didn't want to mess with having someone come out to cover them for the snow while we were out of town. We'd normally have our brassica out by now.

You must be well south of me, We don't even consider planting until May, and then we wait till the 15th

It’s a real trip to see the bright green underneath it as it melts. My brain is accustomed to brown or pale green grass at the end of winter, but it had gotten bright green before this last climatological fandango. I lost part of a crabapple and my family’s lilac bush to the weight of this shit, too. Not happy about that.

The entire lilac or just part?
If the former, you can always root a cutting.

[ - ] Tallest_Skil 0 points 3 yearsApr 23, 2021 08:39:28 ago (+0/-0)

Only a couple of branches. It’s a cutting itself! Our family had a lilac bush that’s now almost 150 years old on one of our old farms. We took a cutting about 30 years ago and planted it at home. It’s still doing it’s thing. I ought to find a place for more of them. Love the smell.

You could have planted tulips and started a craze!
