Very true. I lived down in Western North Carolina for about 6 years and lived in Central Tennessee for a bit. The Winter season was much shorter there. I remember the trees having leaves in March in NC. We barely see buds on them here in PA. I can't plant without serious frost concerns until mid May here. My potatoes, peas, and radishes will be planted in April though. I can't wait but watching your stuff avidly growing helps out quite a bit
