You may want to get some seeds started inside now to get an early start and more produce. I have about 100 seedlings started and will have half again as many by the time it’s time to transplant into the garden in April. Most seeds can be planted straight into the garden but there are climate considerations and bug seasons that you might have to accommodate by starting some early indoors. YMMV.

I have a friend who has a greenhouse and am going to be talking to her in the next day or two.

We’re going on vacation later and I need someone to plant sit the seedlings anyway.

Maybe I can bribe her with some. :)

We can’t get them out until mid-May at the VERY earliest. I’ve seen springs where the last frost in is early April, but we simply cannot count on that. Mid May is the earliest I dare put anything out and even then I usually have to protect everything at least twice anyway.

Global warming?

Bring it on. I’d LOVE a longer growing season.
