This year I made a very early attempt at starting my veggies for the season. I bought some butter lettuce, and iceberg lettuce to try in one of my garden plots. I also bought 9 broccoli plants to plant in another garden plot. I planted them on March 7th knowing full well a deep freeze could come in and wipe them out.
Lettuce and broccoli are cool season plants, and can withstand a brush with 32 degree temperatures on occasion. Thankfully ever since the date I planted them we haven't had a freeze at my house, and the plants are thriving.
The butter, and iceberg lettuce just after planting on March 7th. The dark green lettuce to the left had survived the winter when I grew from seed. Quite exciting!
