And that's what I love about the South -early start on gardening. I know exactly what you're talking about because I grew up in Northern Alabama ( Jasper ) and brought many vegetables and fruits from the garden to the table when I was young back on the farm.
I know all about hoeing , too. Starting from age 10 we had to hoe rows and rows of cotton, corn and peanuts ( our cash crops )in that Alabama sunshine ( one hundred in the shade ! )
I will look forward to keeping track of your progress. Good luck.

Hi Zoe,

This is Soft (The Alabama Gardener)...
Zoe and I share a few blogs :) sorry for the confusion!
Jaspar is not too far from where I live; did y'all have all that clay dirt there as well? I am fortunate, my garden dirt is much more brown then red.
I put a few of the babies in the ground today; having an anxiety moment for sure... but I have time enough if I miscalculated.
Thanks for stopping by.
(Zoe usually labels her posts, by the way :))
looking good darling...ready to roll?...take a deep breath!...tee hee...this is gonna be kewel to watch!
Funny I just set my trays out, just 10 minutes ago!
I am confused, Soft. Sorry.
We sure did have that red clay dirt in Jasper.
I can remember when I was a young'un we'd have the early crops planted by the end of February. I think we're getting global cooling, not warming !
Good luck with your garden. If a cold snap comes don't panic. Just cover the plants.
