Is February 11 too early to start the garden for the year?

I turned over the garden today. I had tilled in a whole bunch of leaves and grass at the end of the growing season last year, it's almost all decomposed now, I turned over the garden to get the remaining layer under dirt. Hopefully that will help come April and May. (Not that we really had any trouble growing things out there before.)

I also trimmed all the bushes in the backyard. Our 'Old World' rose bush (is that what they are called) is starting to spread out some. Every year for about 2 weeks, it's as colorful as our forsithia bush. Tara seems to miss it every other year. 2 years ago, she was in Buffalo. Hopefully it blossems this year before we leave.
