- Even with daytime highs in the 70s, early April is still considered cool weather plant season. Once soil temperatures are in the 40s to 50s, you can begin to grow leafy greens (like kale or spinach), or plants like peas and broccoli. Cool weather plants tend to be a bit more frost resistant.
Perennials are plants that come back every year, and they can do well in the cooler spring temperatures. Leyes mentioned that some of these flowers have even bloomed through spring snow before. If you'd like to plant new perennial flowers, early spring is okay to start planting them outdoors.

He is also shifting much of the responsibility of COVID-19 restrictions to county officials. Following Holcomb's address, we spoke with Dr. Mark Fox of the St. Joseph County Health Department and he expressed concerns about the announcements.
Dr. Fox said he would have preferred to see an incremental approach to opening up the state. He said the state doesn't have the ability to vaccine everyone between March 31, when everyone is eligible, and April 6, when the mask mandate becomes an advisory. "We don't have the capacity to vaccinate everyone in six days before we return to the wild west and throw everything wide open."
