I'm one of those in the comments. But I'm going to say it again, it worked well and I had an extra season last year. In the pnw, that's a game changer.
BALLS! It is cold, 25F when I got up this morning, and went out to release the yardbirds (chickens). It looks like I lost one head of red cabbage, one looks okay, and four are thriving. The chard, Pak Choi, broccoli, cauliflower, Napa Cabbage, parsnips, beets, carrots, and strawberries are all doing great. However, this morning wasn't off to a good start. Omens of evil tidings are in the air. I spilled water while making coffee. Ugh! Yeah, today is going to be bad. LOL! It is not quite time for me to start seed starts, maybe onions in a couple weeks, followed by cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower a week later. It gets colder, and the cold weather stays longer in my area, Sylacauga AL. February 20th is the earliest date that I can plant cold hardy plants with the exception of garlic. Now January is a busy month for me. I get going this year with about forty pepper plants, a dozen tomato plants, a lot of basil, dill, marjoram, cilantro, butterfly weed, butterfly flower, cosmos, bachelor button, marigolds, zinnias, alyssum, strawflower, lettuce, chard, mustard, Pak Choy, winter choy, and Tatsoi. The snow peas, shelling peas, parsnips, carrots, beets, and turnips are direct sown. When it gets closer to spring planting time, I'll do seed starts for cucumbers, round zucchini, gray zucchini, gold zucchini, dark green zucchini, cantaloupe, and sugar Baby Watermelon. From there, I'll have to see what I have left to plant. I don't do beans until closer to summer, after I've harvested out my root crops. I have sixteen raised beds, three Greenstalk towers, a 10ft x 20ft mound that I use for a herb garden, and an orchard with 10 fruit trees, so quite a bit of space to fill. Oh, and I am planting Mammoth Sunflowers for the chickens this year.
When you say Coastal North Carolina....what town are you near? Just trying to get a perspective from where I am. Thanks...Are you covering anything for the freeze?
