Still too cool and wet here to have the tractor powered rototiller come in and turn up the garden. Been raining every second or third day for past few weeks. And a frost/freeze warning again tonight. Supposed to warm up by end of week, next week. But still calling for rain every day or every other day. Might prove challenging...

I don't start anything but peppers and tomatoes inside anymore. Everything else goes right in the ground. Prevents transplant shock, and the direct-sown stuff always catches up with the seedlings, or even outruns them anyway. Saves me a bunch of trouble. We do use mesh tunnels for the early crops. Makes a big difference. I need to buy more.


What fresh Hell is this?
