We have a bunch of lettuce and greens growing now...
Freeze has not been bad enough to hurt em here...yet

Glad I decided to listen to you guys and hold off on the maters. This week probably would have got them.

Has the freeze not gotten your lettuce and cabbage?
My lettuce turned a reddish color but it's not wilted or rubbery ( not much experience with lettuce ) . All the other greens and onions are fine . They're not growing very quickly but it's still February.
When is everyone planning on putting out your maters? Was debating getting seeds and starting my own plants, just didnt know if I had time.

Anybody else in North Texas have blooming fruit trees already? Mine are starting to bloom and I am fearful of another freeze.

My peach buds are cracking now but they haven't completely opened yet. I can see pink from here though so it's gonna happen in the next day or so.

My peach trees are in full bloom, and look really good. I guess I'm in for disappointment with a freeze coming....
On the other hand, my tomatoes, eggplants, broccoli, and peppers that I planted from seed inside are looking really good, and should be in good shape to plant outside in 2 weeks or so, pending a favorable weather forecast.

My ornamental pears are starting to bloom but no action from the plums or peaches yet . Spring needs to come on . I've got Early Girls that are close to a foot tall in the house. Tilled in some peat and cow manure today then planted more turnip greens as well as Candy Cane corn . Y'all stay warm this weekend.

Looking at accuweather, this weekend is looking like our last freeze. Anyone else brave enough to put out the maters Sunday? I think I am going to give it a whirl.

Siberman,
When did you plant your seeds to have 1 foot tomatoe plants? I planted mine Feb 2nd, and they're about 4-5 inches tall. Next year, I think I'll start about 10 days earlier.
Thanks...Greg

Thanks...Greg Bought the plants .  I don't usually start maters or herbs from seed . Need the space for peppers.

Looking at accuweather, this weekend is looking like our last freeze. Anyone else brave enough to put out the maters Sunday? I think I am going to give it a whirl. 1st-2nd Excellent Time For Planting Root Crops That Can Be Planted Now And For Starting Seedbeds. Good Days For Transplanting. 3rd-5th Poor Planting Days. 6th-7th Any Root Crops That Can Be Planted Now Will Do Well. 8th-10th A Barren Period, Best Suited For Killing Pests. Do Plowing And Cultivating. 11th-12th Good Days For Planting Aboveground Crops. Fine For Vine Crops. Set Strawberry Plants. 13th-15th Cultivate And Spray, Do General Farm Work, But No Planting. 16th-17th Favorable For Planting Crops Bearing Yield Above The Ground. 18th-19th Seeds Planted Now Tend To Rot In The Ground. 20th-22nd Best Planting Days For Aboveground Crops, Especially Peas, Beans, Cucumbers And Squash Where Climate Is Suitable. Plant Seedbeds And Flower Gardens. 23rd-26th A Most Barren Period, Best For Killing Plant Pests Or Doing Chores Around The Farm. 27th-28th Favorable Days For Planting Root Crops, Fine For Sowing Hay, Fodder Crops, And Grains. Plant Flowers. 29th-30th Excellent Time For Planting Root Crops That Can Be Planted Now And For Starting Seedbeds. Good Days For Transplanting. 31st Poor Planting Day.
