I can't help but remember my grandmother Huffman's advice "you should plant your peas on Valentine's Day" (she explained that some times you had to poke them in the mud in order to get them in that early). Well, Valentine's Day was several weeks ago, and I don't think the ground has been clear of snow since! This has been one of the strangest winters, thanks to the "Polar Vortex" or some such monster. I finally went out today with a broom and tried to knock some of the snow off the cold frames. In spite of over a foot of snow covering nearly everything the arugula, spinach, and kale all are bright green.
If the sun stays out, there will be enough heat that most of the snow will melt off (I hope!)
