Des Moines --- Spring time in March?

Springtime crocus in Iowa

Usually by May I am ready to get my hands in the dirt, planting my garden. Looks like this year that may be a possibility a bit early. I’ve noticed that my crocuses, daffodils, tulips, bleeding heart, and daylilies are well on their way. With our early arrival of spring it will be hard not to get ahead of ourselves. After all this is Iowa, we could have snow on the ground tomorrow! But for now let’s just enjoy the warm weather. In case you are wondering when to plant garden vegetables, I found a guide from the Iowa State Extension office. Soon we'll be planting lettuce, onions, peas, and other spring crops.

Happy planting!
