Snow load is hard on green houses!--- I have more seeds to start in the cold frame next to the house, but it's going to be quite a while before that happens, I am replanting the seed test maters/cabbage for the third time and not sure how long I can hold them!---some are getting close to needing gallon pots instead of quart size pots.---We just got another bunch of snow last night and into today.---don't know about the sub-zero temps either.---ground is probably frozen 4 feet down by now with all the high wind we had with the cold!
once the seeds sprout/come up they grow fast, so be prepared! LOL! thanks; sonny

Re: Plants growing
I use the Univ of Missouri daily soil temperature recordings as a general guide to planting cold weather crops. Soil temperature is still in the 40's down to 6 inches. Still to cold.
I have an excuse. CRS.

I couldn't even think of getting anything in the ground yet. my garden is still frozen, and it is snowing as I write this reply.
although the other day I did burn the asparagus tops down and put some bagged compost manure on top of the bed.
I think it will be awhile before I can do anything with the garden.

Re: Plants growing
Jack!!---that snow /frozen ground is bad stuff!!-- We have cold/high wind, right now, but I was looking at a little dry spot on the high side of 1 garden and may be able to get enough loose dirt scratched up to start pushing onion plants in!! will try later today!---temps at night here are still below freezing and ground is frozen an inch or two every morning, so I may still have problem getting anything in!-----more later!!! thanks; sonny
