It's like Spring here..high 60's...from what I read spinach loves this kind of weather...I may have to cover them if we have another frost threat, and we could before Easter..

Did you plant the seeds directly into your garden already? I think they'll be fine if you did, spinach can take hard frosts. Here's a list of which veggies can withstand what kinds of frosts:

I made the mistake of planting rutabagas and cabbage really late in the season this past fall, and they haven't produced ANYTHING. Granted, they made it through the winter, so maybe I'll get a Spring crop!

We are getting ready to plant cool weather lettuces, and swiss chard. We allowed some chives to winter over and they are fully growing and doing great. Strawberry plants have some new leaves, too. But then again, we have had unseasonably warm weather here, though it did get near freezing last night, and it's supposed to get near freezing again tonight.
What we started doing was purchasing the small, established, plants, instead of starting from seed. You get a good months' start on your garden, and imo, is worth the price. My husband totally agrees. We are going to plant the lettuces and other stuff this week and cover them up if we get a frost. The soil is very warm at this point.....

Yes, spinach and lettuces are both cool weather plants, and will quickly go to seed and get weird when it gets over 80 degrees or so. They like cool nights and mild days below 80 degs.

I don't understand why my rutabagas and cabbage aren't doing much. We've had some gorgeous weather...they should be growing by leaps and bounds now!

Do you normally pull your chives out? I've had some for years, I just snip some tops off as needed. Mine are about 3 inches tall already.

Can cabbage be left in the ground all winter and come back? Not sure that's doable in Michigan.

I planted them late last fall in hopes for a winter crop...they greened up, but didn't produce anything. By some miracle they made it through the winter, but still no veggies yet.
