You must be in a place where the ground isn’t still frozen. It will be April before I can even entertain the idea of working the ground here.

Yes, we are in the desert southwest and fortunately it hardly ever freezes and we have a long growing season. We should be in our spring here in a few weeks. Fall and winter is only about three months long. We will be hitting 100 by the middle of next month. :)

But what we do have is problems with the heat and sun combination burning up certain species mid summer, even those that like full sun. Use of tomato shade cloth is imperative here. We can’t even let the leaves get wet during the day. The droplets turn into small magnifying glasses and burn spots in the leaves.
