ryeryse_2004,

I'm in middle TN, new to gardening in this area. Really the only thing I have coming out of the ground at the moment are Fava Beans and Peas, I sowed Thanksgiving 2014. A few days ago, I sowed some Rapini, Beets, Sunflowers and Spinach. Starting to see some rapini, but nothing else yet. About a week ago, I also attempted to transplant some Artichokes with very little success. Soil temps are still in the 50's. I uncovered the fig trees about two weeks ago and I'm already seeing some life come back to them. Hopefully, this snap of warmer weather will help out, but I'm sure we are due another cold snap. I have lots of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, herbs, and flowers indoors under lights begging to be put out. I really don't see this happening until mid-April. I hope I am wrong and I can start earlier. I've thought about some cloches, no row covers, at least for this year. Maybe next.
