Well its April do you have you spots yet? Make it easier
on your self prep those spots now. Get out there and take a walk ride a bike or a nice country drive. Ounce you have a suitable location with a water supply near by. you are ready to start prepping the soil. If you have the $ buy pre mixed soil or buy and mix your own special blend. for the people with a tight pocket's, Start digging till you find nice black earth and transport it to your grow site. farmers field are a good source free manure. I am sure a farmer near you doesn't mind you taking some shit from his shit filled fields. tell him its for your garden he doesn't need to know what your growing could be anything. I suggest using elevated bed's,or burlap bags filled with soil,<to help against frost and watering] or digging your holes 1and a half feet to 2 feet deep and back filling with mixed soil. Make sure the spot is so remote and treacherous that you don't even want to go there. Then you have a better chance of not losing to poachers. Chicken wire keeps those little critters from eating you fresh planted babies. Now that prepping is out of the way planting is going to be that much easier. Keep those babies in the house those nights are still cold, and you never know when it will snow. {Global worming my ass snow in April} Or keep those seed's in your pocket if that is how you roll.{Little JONNY WEEDSEED method} Wait till at least May 24 weekend and watch the weather. I am ready are you. Waiting till may with my closets full...

nicely written Shaman! very good advice, it's an uphill battle trying to convince first timers to wait till may to plant. I gotta admit im fealing the urge to plant bad myself as the temps rise, but better to satisfy that urge by finding and prepping plots.

Yeah thanks, I'm going to go prep tomorrow.

Thats why climatologists changed the name to climate change, too many people unable to grasp that while some places get hotter, others get colder. Anyways, as a Canadian grower, you are closest to my own climate here in Colorado rockies. My plants have been in the ground for 3 weeks, and I woke to find snow on them. Will they survive this as day is supposed to warm up and melt off as it progresses? Posted this question, but it seems almost no one on this site grows outdoors, so not getting any responses. I would appreciate anything you could tell me about snow on my babies.

I found a nice spot for my babies.......now I'm having a hard time waiting to get them out there.
