Our USDA Hardiness zone is 4b, but after this being my fourth year gardening here, I find our soil thaws earlier and i can plant things out early than the recorded last frost date of May 12th. So I am more inclined to start cold hardy seeds earlier in the season.

I’m preparing for our twenty twenty one garden. I, of course, have my favorites to grow, but I love trying a couple new varieities each year to work into the mix.
