Planting Early

I can't believe it but I just planted lettuce and spinach in my garden this afternoon.   The frost is out of the ground-- I was also able to dig overwintered parsnips which are better in the spring than the fall.  At the farm, where I help out in the winter, this has been the worst maple syrup season we have ever had.  Now I start at the nursery tomorrow.  Snow drops are in full bloom now, snow crocus just starting, pussy willows just emerging
