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.
