Who's live in the midwest and dealing with all this snow we have right now. I just did some starter plants & waiting for the ground to thaw.
ARRRGGG! I'm in Chicago and still today, April 18th it barely broke freezing! I got a late start to getting seeds in dirt indoors because I'm just not feeling spring at all, I can't even put them in my treehouse because we barely even get sun. Did I move to Seattle and just didn't notice? I went to Anchorage a couple years ago and it was warmer there than here in Chicago! WTF!
We have had a very long winter up here in these parts. I hear ya.. we still have snow on the ground and piles of it still along the tree lines. I started my plantings in flats so hopefully by mid May I can get them outside.
I'm starting all my butterfly plants indoors. Next week looks better I think. One more day.
How are things? Weather calmed down a bit I hope. I've been transplanting and seeding up a storm, with almost 200 Fennel started, 256 Milkweed, 30 Zizzia aurea and 60 4"Anise Hyssops. The weather's been cooperative at last
I live in Omaha, I haven't even gotten into my yard to clean up the garden for planting. Maybe this weekend. Or not.
I am with you there. We had snow here yesterday in central Illinois, and nighttime temperatures are still getting to below freezing. I live in a very old home in a very old neighborhood which means lots of big, beautiful trees, but also means very little sunlight gets into the house so I have to use a lot of grow lights for seedlings.
The good news is that it was sunny today, so I was able to bring my flats outside. I am hoping to get them planted in early May.
I start seed indoors and transplant in mid-May.
Yes, that is what I just did here a few days ago. Its going to be awhile before anything goes in the ground here.
@mistymoon77 Can you lay down some black plastic/fabric to warm the ground prior to planting?

Posted by KateOahuThis morning I went to a class for making a terrarium with native plants at the Waikiki Community Center, which is about three blocks from where I live.
