The cold frame was put up about two weeks ago and both of the compost bins were emptied and the finished compost was spread onto the garden beds over the first two weeks of February. No plants are in the cold frame right now, but if the weather cooperates, I will try to get some lettuce starts out into the frame by the first of March. The weather has been fairly warm for this time of year, but we did receive about 5 inches of snow on February 16th. All of the snow has now melted away. Outdoor garden activity will start to increase starting in March, with onion transplants arriving by the middle of the month. Seed starting will begin in earnest by late February and into March. Looking forward to a very productive garden in 2004.
