Don't be too hasty. There is plenty of time yet. I am only feeding stuff in the poly that has to be forced on. Outdoors have had its poor mans fertiliser when it snowed. If plants are budding, they are healthy.

If you feed them, esp nitrogen, they put out new leaves which can be damaged by late frosts.  :-\

It is that time of year again when we gardeners are like randy bulls wanting to get to the cows in the next field.

We are all bellowing to get going and can't wait until the farmer opens that gate.
