Some things can go in early, other things need to wait for warmer days.  How do we know what to plant when?  Most soil is still too wet to dig or till unless you have raised beds. This week let's look at several ways to help determine when it's best to plant seeds or put out transplants.   Do you know our Frost Free Date?.  Most plants can't take a frost (happens when the air is still) or a freeze (happens when there is a breeze) so they need to go in after danger has passed.  That is tricky since we can't be sure what the weather might bring but we do know the average dates based on years of historical records.  At higher elevations like Mount Holly that date is about May 30 and at lower elevations of Wallingford, Shrewsbury, or Ludlow that is about May 24.  These are averages and best guesses, not absolute rules!  Remember that unless you are a competitive gardener it's not important that your plants go in on the earliest dates anyway.  If you would like recommendations for specific plants then you can use one of several online guides or printed tables for our area that are covered in this article.   Read the full article and subscribe for Free at  https://vermonthomegardener.com/

Mount Holly Newsflash - Tuesday, April 27, 2021 - Morning edition The weather today in Mount Holly - Mostly sunny, with a high near 58. West wind around 10 mph. Archived Newsflash emails can be read at: https://mthollynewsflash.blogspot.com I have two matching twin mattresses and box springs..clean...came out of a house that I am selling. Hardly slept on...not sure of age, but in great shape. I also have a motorized full size box spring. I think it is one of those craftomatic adjustable beds. I have been using it with a regular mattress, but am keeping the mattress. You would need a thinner mattress that would bend to sit up with the box spring. Call, text, or email me if you would like them or more information. They are free. Thank you. Ty Murray 802-777-8047 Ty@KelleyRealEstate.com
