There was a chance of frost last night. I believe we got down to 34f. I didn't see much frost this morning but maybe a few patchy spots.

Late yesterday I moved the outside plants into the greenhouse for the night. They will go back out this morning as it warms up.

Next 10 days the weather looks great with 50s/70s.
 
Our last frost date is 4/1 and the forecast low is 67°. No lows are forecast for the first week in April that are anywhere near a frost temp. I'm getting ready to plant whatever I can prep the ground for. Still under a light duty mandate until Monday so it will only be things I can mow a spot for and plant on woven ground cover. I'm seeing tomatoes and peppers and maybe a couple of eggplants.
 
I crawled on my hands and knees earlier planting cabbage, broccoli, lettuce, etc and did a number on my knees I wasn't expecting because I didn't take time to put my knee pads on. I've got them ready to plant tomatoes I hope later today after a supply run this morning. We will pick up a pair of young legs and back by noon. Great granddaughter will be getting lessons in planting today. She's out for spring break and is old enough to start learning a few things. Not only that I hope she will be making a memory that will visit her long after we are gone an she is an adult teaching her kids and grand kids the tradition of gardening.
 
Putting things in the ground is on hold at chez JXP as I'm 1300 miles away for the next 3 weeks. I'm counting on my son to just keep both the flora and fauna alive until my return to the snowless homefront. In the meantime, I am busy starting seeds and tapping maple for my beloved brother in beautiful upstate NY.
Two days ago I was looking over my blue spring lawn of muscari (grape hyacinth) dotted here and there with clumps of buttery yellow daffs and the occasional pink or purple hyacinth while colorful winter pansies and viola now share their oversize planters with the tulip bulbs I underplanted last fall.
Today, I'll be sitting in the waiting room for news that my hero, my best friend, my brother's surgery is finished. Please feel free to pray or send healing thoughts.
And that reminds me, @Nomadicus , how's your recovery going?

Slow.. Need a few more days of rest and light duty.
 
Not counting. To windy to put ground cover down today and the rains come about 2pm. Granddaughter's hubby is here pulling some Tposts that got put in facing the wrong way. I hate double work. The cauliflower, broccoli, romaine, and cabbage is looking good. At least the rains will keep me from having to water them. Tomato and pepper plants are ready for real sunlight but will have to do with artificial until the weather is better suited to playing in the dirt.
