Planting calendar

Here is a link for a planting calendar that you can customize with your own last frost date.

This year everything seems to be moved up by almost a month.  Usually the goal is to plant peas in our area on St. Patrick's Day (March 17).  This year my peas are starting to poke through the ground,  the onions are about 4 inches high, lettuce is growing. 

My curiosity compelled me to unearth an onion bulb to examine the root system.  I put approx. 1-2 tsps. of vermicompost at the bottom of each bulb.  The roots look great!
