too early to plant?
most people say Mother's Day but we usually plant mid-April and it's always been fine
"Carter's Rules"
Prune the rose bushes when Forsythia blooms.
Plant new shrubs, shortly there after.
Lawn reseeding is best done in the fall but, you gotta to what you gotta do.
Plant annuals and most veggies around Mother's Day.
If you break these rules, you may need to cover some of your plants with a sheet some nights!
Some veggies that might go a little earlier:
Spinach, Chard, Lettuce, Radishes, Kale, Peas
Best Regards,

Ron, thanks for the great timing guidelines, adaptable to Wisconsin too. I'll just sub Memorial Day for Mother's Day, and go with it.
Enjoy your garden season!
