Wow...canning season? We just had our last frost last week. The only thing 
I'm harvesting is greens. Except for a few early Stupice (golf-ball sized at 
the moment), it will be a month or more before I see a tomato. Everything is 
sitting, waiting for warmer weather, especially squash, which isn't looking 
very happy. The early green beans that I started in cell packs in early 
April are just starting to bloom. Pole beans have just come through the 
ground. Onions are doing well, but not forming bulbs yet. Garlic doesn't 
care about the weather and looks great. Peas are just forming pods. Potatoes 
are still getting hilled...weeks away from blooming. Corn is an inch or two 
tall. I've still got a bunch of tomatoes to get planted, if it would stop 
raining long enough to prepare the bed.

I have a lot of pears amd a few peachs. It looks like the apples ALL got hit 
by the late frost...four apple trees, lots of blossoms, and , for the second 
year in a row, no fruit.

Today's project is to set up a bumch of pots with good soil to start the 
strawberry runners so I can force them in the greenhouse next spring.
