I'm new to gardening,even though I did a bit last year.We live in a condo and has a small patio where I used some pots to grow some flower bearing plants and some veggies.They came out ok.But I started off quite late in June or so.This year I wanted to start off early and wanted some advice as to what are the plants/veggies that can be planted now outdoors.I live in Alexandria,VA where we have quite a bit of sunlight these days and temps are in 50s during daytime but fall lower at night.Should I wait for the temps to go upto 60s or can I go ahead and start planting now?

Thanks in advance,
newbee

With flowers, it really depends on what you want to plant and whether you're starting from seed or with plants from a nursery.

link is a list of common vegs and their preferred temperatures. Don't forget that row cover or black plastic is very good at warming the soil beneath.
