It may not be spring yet, but I’ve got 14 raised beds full of seeds, seedlings, and plants. Yes, folks - be jealous! LOL. I live in the Charleston, SC area, and I have chard, red onions and garlic growing along with my raspberry canes (dormant), strawberries (have 2 flowers), and asparagus (coming up early due to the warm weather we HAD/gone today). My seedlings are kale, 2 kinds of carrots, 2 kinds of spinach, escarole, 5 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of turnips, 3 kinds of radishes, and 2 kinds of beets. I plant 3 kinds of potatoes, some white onion sets, and more chard on Feb 1. I also have a key lime tree loaded with buds. (My fig, pomegranates and almond are still dormant - though the fig does have leaf buds.) This weekend I will be setting up my germination room for spring crops. Very busy in my garden! [If you want to see my pictures and updates, I have them at www.sanctuarygardener.com I’d like to see your pics, too.]

My garden has never stopped growing. I just covered the plants with plastic drop cloth and it acts like a mini- greenhouse. Cabbage, kale, lettuce, and brussel sprouts are still growing strong. My citrus doesn't like the freezes in the Texas Hill Country, so I'll have to wait another month and a half to move them back outside.

BTW- Welcome to FR.
