Re: N&C Midwest: March and April 2021
Interesting about the currants and gooseberries. I read up on them after you mentioned it, OG and yea, apparently they are an intermediate host for the White Pine Blister Rust. My state (NH) does ban some varieties but not others. I found a nursery that carries one of the OK varieties but get this: I need an actual PERMIT to grow even the allowed ones in my garden! Not sure if the nursery won't sell them to me without said permit or if it's on the honor system. I get it, it's important, but I have visions of that scene in _Monsters, INC._ where the decontamination swat team bust in and shave one of the monsters down because a child's sock got stuck to his fur, only it's the swat team busting in and incinerating my poor plant. I think I'd rather not risk it.

That is a shame, Molly! The fruit of Gooseberries, and especially Gooseberry Pies, are soooooooooo delicious!
Ohio has simplified the restrictions, so that only one variety is banned:
The current Ohio law (Regulation AG-71-85.01) to suppress and control White Pine Blister Rust Disease is as follows:
Note: Ohio law does not prohibit the planting of red currants or gooseberries within the state.

So pretty, though, OG. When's your LF date?

Our "official" last frost date is May 15th, but we very seldom have freezing temps after the first week of April. The last time the area had snow on this date was 1923.

Re: N&C Midwest: March and April 2021
Going to start tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, squashes today on pad downstairs today hopefully. I need to also transplant bunching onions and celery outside too.
Trying new varieties of tomatoes this year, and in a new place, in containers in the south annex. I have had squash and melons out there every year but the SVBs got to things last year—hoping to at least delay their damage by changing location on them!
Enjoy the coming weather, Midwest!

You may be behind schedule getting your bunching onions out, SR. I planted mine on April 4th, and they're growing like gangbusters.
Have kale, lettuce (3 varieties), spinach, radish, beets, and carrots growing in the beds.
Have peppers, tomatoes, basil, alyssum, and lychnis seedlings growing under lights. Won't be starting the squash under lights until early June.
These are the bunching onions....can't wait to start pulling them....
