[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 353229, member: 135"] I notice you're in Minnesota. You need to check to see when your frost free date is. Here in Nebraska it's after the first of May. You can plant peas, onions, radishes, lettuce, cabbage and garlic now but you need to wait a wee bit later for carrots (the soil temp has to be high enough for them to germinate, although they will stand a little frost) and you need to wait till after the frost free date for watermelon, pumpkins, gourds, and tomatoes as they are pretty cold sensitive. Carrots are notoriously slow to germinate. I always put a radish seed in the row about every 8 inches. That way the radishes come up fast and mark the row so you don't lose the carrots in the weeds before they get up good enough to see them. [/QUOTE]
