My dad informed me that the Farmer’s Almanac notes the last average our area of NE Texas was March 16th. But I’ve always heard that around here you don’t dare plant until after Easter since those rogue freezes can easily slip in before then.
I always battle myself this time of year – do I plant? Do I wait? Well this year Ole Man Winter has had a death grip on us with ice and snow, and lately the sky has been drizzly/foggy/cloudy for over three weeks straight keeping things in a cold muddy mess. So I guess that decision has kinda been made for me so far! But while in our garage I saw something that got me fired up to at least prepare for planting.
