According to NC State, the last frost date in Iredell County is Apr 16 to Apr 22. That date is quickly approaching... so, it is time to begin preparing the ground for planting.
Also, starting seeds indoors can save a little time and give your plants some extra time to grow. Lowe's has seed starter kits for around $10 with a built-in green house.
Maple trees are starting to drop there seeds... I am saving some and going to try and propagate them indoors. Here is the inside view of a Maple seed that has just fallen from a Maple tree in North Charlotte.
Hoping to propagate these indoors and then transfer to larger pots with the hopes of planting trees around the fence rows of the farm.
