Farm Invoice Selections: I shared some concerns within the following article if it may be of assist as you make these selections: https://jenreesources.com/2022/01/23/farm-bill-decisions/
Regardless of heat stretches, it’s approach too early to contemplate garden fertilizer and crabgrass preventer. Wait until April when soil temperatures are anticipated to be 50F for at the least 5 days.
Vegetable planting information will be discovered at: https://go.unl.edu/pao8. Kelly Feehan, Extension Educator shares, “For vegetable gardeners, it’s time to consider cool season greens. Deal with backyard planning, seed shopping for, and soil preparation, like incorporating compost, if soil isn’t too moist. Don’t let air temperatures trick you into planting too early. It’s soil temperature that to find out when to plant. Gardeners who plant too early usually find yourself harvesting later than those that wait. And a few gardeners find yourself replanting since seed can rot in chilly soils and seedlings or transplants could also be broken by spring frost. Even when all goes nicely, seedling emergence can take 10 days or for much longer in chilly soil. For cool season greens like lettuce, radish and peas, wait to plant seed till soil temperatures are above 40 levels Fahrenheit, with 45 to 50 being preferrred.” A meat thermometer designated for soil temperature use is a good way to test soil temperatures.
