It's 30 degrees and there has been a light snow overnight continuing on through the day...not too much though but just enough to keep me indoors on my day off. I was hoping to get out and start turning compost into the beds this weekend but it has been a damp cold so...it's been postponed.

Since last year was a bad year for corn because of the late spring, I am going to experiment with 'starts' this year to see if we can get a crop. I am just not sure exactly when to do this since sowing indoors and transplanting corn is not recommended so seed packets don't have any instructions...Hmmm.
