I’m getting my garlic in this week.

Otherwise, cleaning up the beds and generally getting the ground ready for crops in the spring.

This spring, I need to not be in such a hurry to get stuff in. A cold snap in spring really sets stuff back even with covering it.

I’ll be putting in my seed order very soon, too. God knows what will happen this election cycle.

Just curious if you know, if I order seeds now, particularly onion seeds, will they be fresh, and marked for next year?

My beans are almost spent. The weather has been warm enough but the days are just getting too short. The lettuce is doing just fine though and I still have a few tomatoes on a couple plants that are stragglers and ripening.

We never released ‘current year’ seeds until January of the year. Not sure what other seed operations do. You could call or email them before you place your order, but since onion seeds hold their viability for a very long time, I personally wouldn’t worry about it.

Does anyone know of a good site or book telling what to plant and when for a garden in different climates (like NY)?

I wanted to start a garden this year, but I didn’t kow what to plan and when to plant things
