No, I just had spring fever and jumped the gun as usual. The spot I planted in gets nice sun, but the oak tree above normally helps protect the things I plant too early form frost. Check Dave's nifty planting guide, it is usually much better than following an impatient gardener. But, sometimes I do hit it lucky, and things work out. Still not a sign of lettuce or carrots. I did go ahead and side dress them yesterday with some fertilizer just in case they do decide to sprout. My soil seldom freezes, so when I read "plant as soon as soil can be worked" it has no meaning for me.
My normal pattern for planting is to plant on a nice warm spring like day, then that night check and see how much later I should have actually waited to plant. Smiling
