had things started in a green house, so far:
- eating leaf lettuce out of the green house, peas in there going great - replanted tomato and beans in there to see what happens - have a row of peas up outside in the garden - transplanted started cucumber, squash and tomato outside, that night 2 inch hail stones and wind. Wiped out the cucumbers, broke a tomato in half.
Zucchini seeds planted, but not up. Romaine lettuce planted 2 weeks now, not up.

Tater all dug today! That was more than I expected Haven’t planted taters in a couple of years. We have had too much spring rain for years.

Supposed to hit 90 here today before some fooking storm. I'm hoping for some of that storm, but I don't have to worry about hay on the ground like all my friends do. Went from 0% chance a few days ago, to 30% chance yesterday, to 50% chance today. Maybe by tonight we'll get to 100%.

Traditional planting time here is Good Friday. My place was wet as a rice paddy then and I only planted a few squash as soon as it got halfway dry. Been getting a few. I've been working up the ground in the last few days and plan to plant a big purple hull patch later this month. Then broccoli, cabbage, and mustard greens in the fall.

I don't have any hay down but I have this garden to get in, so I'm hoping it holds off for today. After that, let it rain. We sure don't need some frog-strangler though.

Got the first rotation of beans and corn into the garden yesterday afternoon. Here's what it looked like 90 minutes after I finished up. Unbelievable...

Where did you find rabbit seed? LOL ! ! ! ... Interestingly, between coyotes and feral cats, I do not normally see rabbits on my farm. Saw one rabbit 20-30 yards down hill from the garden when I was finishing up with the soaker hose. Never expected him to bring a buddy right after I went into the house... May have to try some of the electric netting...

Got in fifteen tomato plants and one Basil yesterday. One more Basil and some watermelon along with some flower plants and we'll have about everything planted that we've got to plant. May get some more stuff but time is waning.

Predicting 33 degrees this coming Sun and Mon nights. We're on a hill (4,500 ft) but the frost pockets below (4000 ft) might freeze/

Two weeks of rain followed by a week of sunshine has Donne wonders for mine. Harvesting lots of peppers and squash are coming on strong. I expect bumper crop of beans and potatoes this year too.
