Hi Greg! Welcome to ATP. You'll find the places you like soon. There is a TN regional forum:

and forums for particular plants, and one for edible crops:

Until someone from your area sees your post, here's one way to get a hint. We have a garden planting calendar based on "last frost date". If you enter your location, it will make some suggestions for when-to-start seeds indoor, when to transplant outdoors, or when to direct-sow outdoors.
I put in "Nashville, TN" and got this:
http://garden.org/apps/calenda...
"Cole crops like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can be direct seeded into your garden around February 24, assuming the ground can be worked, but it's better to start them indoors around January 27 and then transplant them into the garden around March 17. Do the same with lettuce and spinach."
Whoops,
Crossville would have been more accurate!:
http://garden.org/apps/calenda...
"Cole crops like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can be
direct seeded into your garden around March 2, assuming the ground can be worked, but it's better to start them
indoors around February 3 and then transplant them into the garden around March 24. Do the same with lettuce and spinach."
You can also get to the "Garden Planting calendar" from the left-hand blue menu bar, "Goodies".
Is there still an Echlin plant in Crossville? Auto parts?
