Precocious broccoli
My inside seedlings took
off like a rocket after Mark
built them a special spot under the elevated sofa complete with fluorescent
lights.
The only trouble
is...the broccoli is already growing out the bottom of the flat and
searching for real dirt! These babies aren't supposed to move to the
garden for another three weeks, but I'm already discarding
my own advice and
considering setting them out early. After all, one ten degree night
aside, it does appear to be an early spring. Right?

Early Spring
NOAA's computer program says we're going to have a hotter-than-normal April. I already have lettuce and spinach planted in my outside beds without any coverings on them. The spinach leaves got a bit frost bitten, but they're okay otherwise. I would say harden them off outside and then plant them in their permanent spot.

Sometimes I think the plants know more than we do. Your seedlings are telling you it's time! I'm in Central Oregon, at about 3500 feet so my gardening days are several weeks off, though I may sneak a few peas and spinach in to a bed to tempt fate.
