I’m just outside of Cincinnati and I SOWED lettuce seeds outside! :) They have already started poking through the soil. I figured if it got cold, I can always pop my makeshift coldframe over them. I have a kale volunteer and three lettuce plants that survived the very mild “winter” and my chives are going crazy! I haven’t started any tomatoes or pepper indoors yet, but I think I will get started on them this weekend.

BTW, I also have a celery experiment going in my “test” garden. Did you know you can chop off the bottom of celery you buy in the store (I buy organic…don’t know if it would work with conventionally grown) about 1-2", plant it in the ground, and it will start sending up shoots??? I saw the idea on Pinterest and gave it a shot. I planted the stub last week and can see leaves poking up already! Too cool.
