I'm just curious about when various people get their garden in and where they live. I'm in southern Indiana and just tilled mine yesterday. Due to the rain last month and earlier this month, it just finally dried out enough. It's still a little damp, but ready to plant now. I'm planning to start planting this evening. Last year was about the same time. The year before that was early May because we had a much drier spring. The first spring I lived here, 1998, it was late June to do more rain than I've ever seen in my life!
