Year 2012 may have presented us with the earliest Florida spring in many years. My tomatoes were in before the end of February and many have told me theirs have been planted for weeks longer. The greenhouse and shade house heaters have also been in storage for several weeks. Spring is here and some days summer seems to be around the corner. But not so fast. A few cooler days may still lie ahead but there does not seem to be a freeze in our forecast.

All tomatoes are doing well - all 11 varieties at this time with about six more on the way including three grafted tomatoes. These are scheduled to arrive soon -- I hope. The grafted tomatoes did very well last fall before being damaged by cold. I am going to be interested in seeing how well they do going into the summer when most varieties decline or stop setting fruits.

Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage are about finished. Well, we are getting some side-shoots off the broccoli. Actually they can have about two more weeks then more squash and cucumbers are going in the garden. I have started these plantings in containers to give the in ground plantings a few more weeks before their removal.

Check out what we will be planting in April to stay on schedule with me.
