Even with cold frames, you’re pushing it before the end of May in New Hampshire. Come May I’m doing that awful dance of setting things outside, still in trays or slightly larger pots, and having to bring them inside the garage at night. I have three huge grow light set ups of three tiers each to hold a total of 45 large trays of seedlings. I start some things in late March and most in early April.

Timing for where you’re going Mavis is frost free date won’t be until the end of May. I live in the NE and start almost everything from seed undear grow lights, then pot them on into larger pots before planting in the ground. And another word - fences… if you are not going to be living in a suburban area, critters will be all too ready to come to the buffet! The bottom line is talk to the people who have lived in your new town for many years - they will know the real scoop on the planting seaon, last frost, etc for your particular town. (The really fun weather can come from the intersections of any of those!) That said, it also makes a difference how close you are to the Atlantic Ocean though the weather rarely comes from that direction, it will moderate the temps on the coastal areas much of the time. First, there’s a huge difference between having your weather buffered by the Pacific Ocean and having your weather buffered by Canada! Actually NE weather can come from multiple directions - the Arctic Clippers from Canada, the stuff that comes sweeping across the Plains, and the stuff that starts down in the Gulf of Mexico and comes up. I’m getting so excited for you, Mavis! And I am very impressed that you can pack and keep up this blog at the same time… A couple of thoughts for you on gardening in the NE. How about YOU? Did you set any goals for 2018? How are they coming along? Yee-Haw! So many things happening at once. 😉 The planning stages for this project has begun and around this time next month I should be ready to place an order for supplies. But I think that may have been because 2 of our meals were pulled out of the freezer and another was spent hanging out with my parents at their new favorite hot spot Holiday Project So this week I was able to get all my meal prep done in two days. Goal # 4 – Have a Designated Meal Prep Day Who knew the secret to life and felling motivated was rest? But whatever the reason, I FEEL SO ALIVE this morning. I’m not sure if this is a sign that I am getting old, or if my body just needed 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep. And that’s all I’m going to say about that. And starting this week, things should be a lot easier for me to implement this goal. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer.” ~ Barbara KingsolverĪhhh, I love this goal. Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you figure out what you have to say. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. “ The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.” ~ Oprah Winfrey
