Count me in as a Northern Zone Pusher. The sign at stores that's next to the burpee seed stands recommends planting June 4th, which I feel is a bit ridiculous, so I'm gonna be planting out my tomatoes and peppers on May 11th. The actual last frost date is April 27th according to the document my extension office published online, so I don't know how much I'm actually pushing...
Spring has also arrived very suddenly, and by the looks of it will be staying. The lawn shows new growth and so does one particularly hardy weed I noticed out back. The pine trees also look suspiciously green. I'm itching to get started, and I think I am going to plant out some cold tolerant salad greens. I'm thinking of trying to squeeze in some cool weather stuff before I plant my tomatoes out. Any zone pushers have any suggestions?
