Yes, it's too early for annuals, perennials, veggies, herbs (tho my bulbs are coming up), but apparently it's too late to plant pasture seed in our corrals, about an acre each (I had pictures but for some reason, cannot retrieve them).
Ted has a tractor, but it's too darned slow. So we rented a seed spreader and hooked it up to the ATV which is pretty darned fast, and planted both corrals in about one hour. It was a real blast! Flying around the property, bouncing around, throwing seed this way and that! Then we dragged the harrow to cover the seed a bit (and for this I do have pics) and called each other Farmer Ted and Farmer Carolyn.
Now the folks at the seed company told us we were too late to plant, that we should have planted between November and February (when the ground was frozen - huh?). But since it started to snow on us before we finished, I turned to my beloved and said, "Well, for all this seed knows, it IS November" and we came inside for a coffee and brandy.
Well done.
