Is anyone considering changing there planting times this year? I'm in Western NY here. We've hardly had any winter weather. This will be my first year of a "full" garden. I have always had two cucumber plants and two cherry tomato plants. I know it's entirely to early now, but I'm itching to get going. I serviced the tiller today.  What are others thinking for time frame this year?

| Central MN here and we've had hardly a snowflake here either. It was 50 degrees today for crying out loud. I may start a few cool weather crops early this year but it will only be a small portion of my garden. I'm thinking about a portion of my carrots, spinach, snap peas, potatoes, beets, lettuce etc. We'll see though. Winter can happen here until late April. |

We'll likely stick with traditional timing. While the weather has indeed been whacky lately, all it takes is a couple of hard frosts to screw up a lot of work. Im with Feral I wouldnt bet on this wacky weather working in your favor. Hell one day its 50 the next its 25 |

It's easy to get caught up in the moment, but that will usually come back and bite you in the ass. Even if you manage to avoid a killer frost, many things will fail to thrive until the soil temps get consistently into the range they require. Peas are probably one exception. |

What he said.................... I've got snow peas, beets, lettuce and carrots in the ground now but will fight the urge to push other stuff. Taters go in March 1. |
