| I've got an 8'x8' raised bed. I just planted it with seeds (radish, carrot, turnip, spinach, kale) last Thursday. Just looked outside and it's snowing. It's April 15th and it's snowing. Am I gonna need to replant everything? If so, how long do I wait? |

I just planted it with seeds (radish, carrot, turnip, spinach, kale) All of these are cold-weather crops so in theory none of them will be harmed by the snow. If in a week you don't have sprouts, sow again. But I'd bet you a dollar that they'll be fine. P.S. I used to live on an Air Force Base in Belleville. It's a beautiful area. Welcome to Garden.org. Please stick around!  Keep going! |

| Jai, Scott AFB? Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

| Yep! I realize it's not technically "in" Belleville but I think nobody observes that distinction except tax collectors. Keep going! |

I grow radish, spinach and kale. They love the cold and can stand a little bit. In fact kale likes it so much I have decided to do a fall harvest this year. The frost helps its flavor they say. And the best spinach I ever had was a patch that over-wintered (Cleveland Ohio!) I also would be surprised if they don't come right up. Let us know! |
