@richrollgardener It’s not my thing but have you thought about getting some things in the ground and covering with fleece?

@Broadfork Yes, the cabbage, lettuce, and beets will be going in the ground the next day it isn't raining and I don't have to run errands. I have row covers with fleece to use. My onion plants will be arriving in the next few days and that will force my hand anyway...Picture is from last year first week of April showing fleece covered first planting. In 2024 it was 31st of March.
