Ooh! I'm jealous!

Thinking about seeding a late crop of salad greens and onion sets for green onions Wednesday night, which is the only night I'm not working. Some folks are setting out tomatoes and basil. Chances of a late frost are probably pretty slim, but my experience is I don't gain much from planting warm season crops early if the soil is not yet good and warmed up. We had that one hot 3 days everyone in the East got last week, but otherwise night temps are still going to be in the high 40's to mid 50's and daytime highs not reaching the mid 70's until mid to late afternoon.

May nix seeding those cool season crops until I see what is going on with my Dad. Will prob'ly go to WV this weekend and it doesn't make sense to plant seeds that I can't keep watered everyday in what is shaping up to be a dry spring. I could probably get a brief crop of baby salad greens and certainly green onions even if I sow as late as the last week of April.
