I'm two weeks late planting due to the late frost... Going to plant today.

We also had temps in the 20's last night. I have a dwarf cherry waiting to be planted and another on the way.

It's supposed to be up to 80 by the end of the week. My seedlings are having sleep overs in the little portable green house units. I hope to get potatoes and some onions planted this week. May even stick a few tomatoes in the ground under milk jugs. Will hold some back just in case. It's way too early to be planting tomatoes. But...

Got most everything planted today. Will finish by next weekend. Hoping everything will get over it's stringyness... Fighting for light for the last two weeks.

I am as well. Two new varieties for us: Jewel and Ft. Laramie. Some more blackberries and raspberries as well. I figured if I planted enough, the birds might let me have a few . My wife and I have already managed a bang-up case of poison ivy, probably from working the ground making the new beds.

Hard to resist isn't it? D pulled a tray of 'maters out of the greenhouse today to give them a little fresh air and sun. With 80's on the way this week, I bet a few make it into the ground despite the date

I'm gonna put up a couple of tunnels: 2 for tomatoes, and 2 for my pole beans. Hope to get the potatoes in the ground. Trying some new varieties this year. Too many for the allotted space, but couldn't resist. Hope to get the HK mound chicken proofed and plant some cole crops there, perhaps this week. All depends on my work schedule.
