We have a break in the weather. There are no cold days forecast for the next two weeks so we are putting in all our spring plants. We anticipate the frosty days are over. Let's hope so.
Over the last two days we planted 150 tomato plants, 100 sweet peppers, and 150 hot peppers. We were in the process of planting the last 100 tomato plants when the rain started.
We also planted summer squash, cucumbers and speckled butter beans. The rattlesnake pole beans are peeking their heads out of the ground. I'm still looking for the green beans to start. This slow rain today will be good for all.
The Candy sweet onions are looking good. They should start bulbing in two weeks and then be ready by June 1.
The High Tunnel tomatoes are all trelissed and blooming. A beautiful sight for me. We should have ripe tomatoes by late May.
The lettuce has grown beyond expectations. I planted it between the tomato plants. It is called double cropping. Pretty neat stuff can be done in these tunnels. I'm learning new things all the time. The spinach and cucumbers are looking good also. Sounds like salads are going to be good around here soon.
