I'll get a pic in a bit. Been eating baby squash, cukes and peppers for a week now. Birds got the first cherry toms though. Okra is up, but might have gone in too early.

We've been eating our own lettuce and spinach for two weeks. Tomatoes went in yesterday. Cuke and cants in about 3 weeks.

I have stuff in the greenhouse that hasn't emerged yet. Outside planting is after Mem day. Too much chance of frost earlier. It's 33 now.

Mine is in the ground. But I may have to replant. Threatening to frost tonight.

50 Tomatoes and 40 peppers are in from a couple weeks ago. Would like to get my yellow squash, zuchini, cucumbers, watermelon, cantaloupe, and okra in, but it keeps raining anytime I have a chance to go get it worked up to plant. Supposed to get down to 36 tonight, so likely wouldn't do much if they were in the ground anyway...

31 degrees here this morning, so, no. I did get it tilled up a couple of days ago, though. That about kicked my ass, because I hadn't tilled it in about 3 years and the field grass and weeds had created quite a mat of roots. Took 3-4 passes with the old front tire roto-tiller.

Usually closer to Memorial Day here. Predicting 25 degrees tonight, not looking good for our apples this year.

Madden getting some tiller work in- AK getting the watering in on her freshly planted peppers and tomatoes. Notice the curve where she is watering. She kinda missed the point of the stringline to keep the row straight. Free labor.....

My wife waited for a flush of weeds before tiling a second time. I spread some turkey litter, and need to spread some lime.

Will probably plant seeds this week, The plants in a couple weeks. The tomatoes will have to be covered off and on until the middle of June--not always, but often enough to be ready to cover. We had a real heavy frost this morning----26 degrees. I will have to cover again in the Fall if I want to eat everything I planted. It is worth the trouble . Store bought tomatoes and cucumbers suck!

Too cold here until the long weekend. Got some seeds and taters in last week but the started plants won’t go in for another week, at least.
