I already have my peas and some spinach in the ground. Hopefully today I will get my lettuces, carrots and radishes in, and maybe onion seeds. I have broccoli and cabbages in a warm area outside that I started in the house, and tomatoes are getting going inside. Note: I am in a cold zone and have to start things much later than most.
I'm trying a bunch of new varieties this year, but old ones that I like are:
Broccoli - Small Miracle
Cabbage - Derby Day
Lettuce - Salad Bowl - If I could only have one variety of lettuce this would be it!!!
- Red Sails
- Buttercrunch
- Flashy Trout's Back
Tomato - Sun Gold (cherry) I'm looking forward to these again this year....
All of these are available from TSC.

Lettuce already?? Even with it still freezing? I just LOVE Red Sails lettuce! Very delicious and a way cool looking plant too!

sparkle,
The Territorial site has a link to their retail store racks by state. You should be able to find most of the list above at a store near you.

Lettuce is hardy down to about the mid-20s. You can reliably overwinter it here just by keeping the rain off, as long as you have something handy if we get one of those rare arctic incursions (a blanket will do; I use a double layer of floating row cover).
I'm a bit late this year but usually I sow lettuce outside the first week of March.
