This morning there was heavy frost on the ground, after snow on the weekend  that did not stick.

Crocus , tulips and daffodils are seen in yards that have sheltered  areas and warmth of soil conditions.

A consultation with Henry a participant at the farmers market and a serious friend of the with in a hundred miles thought said that he planted 80 odd romaine lettuce in side this week in anticipation of planting outside. He said they are frost hardy and lots of green vegetables are, common wisdom for less frost hardy plants is the end of May. Henry intends to have produce at the farmers market when it opens May 18th.
