February 15th is time to start those tiny seed plants, such as lobelia, petunias, etc. in window boxes or the greenhouse.  Also, as soon as the ground can be worked, you can plant the green leafy vegetables in your garden such as lettuce, spinach, radishes.  The way to tell if your ground is ready, take a handful of dirt and squeeze.  When you open your hand and the ground falls apart, it is ready to be worked.
