Yes, we've ignored Punxsutawney Phil, too; especially while living in zone 9. :-)

Lucille, what kind of plugs are you planting? Am also ignoring predictions and thinking about getting some pansies or the small dark leaf begonias. Only 6 weeks until spring!

I have a few perennials coming tomorrow, plus I'm moving some salvia guaranitica around to different locations today, it is so pretty and does so well here. Already planted some tomatoes from Home Depot a few days ago.

No way am I going to sit around until the last frost date which is March 16, in this gorgeous weather.

I've been wanting to do this too, just worried about late frosts. I set up a coldframe and I am wondering if it would be ok to go ahead and start some seeds too. The coldframe is set up to get lots of sun, more even than my greenhouse is getting right now.

planted 3 tomato plants yesterday and a sweet pepper, but today it's pretty hot (ugh) humid and windy, so i'll wait til this evening to play outside everything i planted is in a container and i'll try to move them inside if it gets really cold

planted them on the south side of the house and they'll get lots of light my biggest concern is that i've yet to see bees in that area this year

i have a meyer lemon in a tub planted next to the tomatoes and i usually see lots of bees around those very early in the year (yes the lemon has been blooming since the second week in january....)
