What veggies can i plant now in New England?

You can plant radishes, beets, turnips and most greens--lettuce, swiss chard, spinach, etc. I'm getting anxious to plant too, but our snow hasn't all melted yet so it will be a few days before I can get started.

Depending on where you are in New England, there are a variety of veggies you can plant. Here is a site for Zone 5 early plantings. http://www.squidoo.com/Schedule-for-Spring-Vegetable-Gardens
I've done peas this time of year, but haven't tried any of the others on the list this early. I believe you can also plant asparagus crowns this time of year too. You have to wait a year before you can harvest them, but it is so worth it, as they are a perennial and will come back every year thereafter. Very yummy too. Nothing better than fresh garden asparagus!

I have radishes, carrots, kale, spinach, collards, arugula, mizuna, lettuces, other greens seeded now. Peppers and tomatoes started inside. Asparagus started as well, just waiting for soil to warm a bit more before I plant the crowns. Pretty much any cool weather crop can go in now.

Leafy greens and root crops do very well. And the peas!

Yum!

Being meaning to PM you. From what I learned on the rose growers website, late April/early May would be the best time to plant roses.
