Re: northern gardening

Are you in Michigan also?  Or just responding as a Northern Gardener? When
you said you started your tomatoes yesterday, I'm assuming you meant
indoors...  My enthusiasm for starting them today was dampened slightly, as
it was bitter cold, and windy and supposed to snow...  I guess I've got a
couple of weeks before they HAVE to be started...  I'm thinking I'll put
the peas and spinach (beets, too, maybe) out directly in the garden in late
April.  Usually we're past snow danger then... well, when we get snow in
May, at least it doesn't stick as a rule.  I'm figuring on starting the
Broccoli and Tomato indoors sometime in the next couple of weeks, then
transplant outdoors in June sometime...

As far as those GREEN ZEBRAS....  I did a search online for green tomato
recipes, and found a ton!  Wish I'd saved the document, but I just checked
my MS Word Documents, and don't see it, so I guess I disposed of it a long
time ago...  Oh well...  I'm also thinking I'll start the Morning Glories
in newspaper pots, that I can "transplant" out around my mailbox when it
warms up a bit.
