TAKING A GAMBLE ON AN EARLY SPRING GARDEN

My crocus are blooming and my daffodils are starting to show flower buds.  The weather here in Elkmont is predicted to range from the 60s to upper 40s for the next two weeks and of course, Spring starts here around Feb. 15.  

I noticed that green leaf lettuce was $2.75/bunch last week.  It was .99 last year at this time.  With that in mind, I'm going to be daring and plant some spring vegetables such as radish, spinach, lettuce and some onions in the next few weeks.  You can't beat home grown veggies.
