You can start planting vegetable seedlings otudoors after the last frost. You would be safe if you waited untill the third week in may. If you wanted to start plants from seeds you could plant indoors now and plant outdoors in May.


Bulbs and perenials you could plant now, or in the fall. You won't get much of a show from Perenials this year so you should also plant some annuals, pansies and other hardy annuals could go out now as well.

Go to a local nursery %26amp; get an idea of what you like, color-wise. Find what grows in your climate.
