No dust. I plant flowers near the veggies to attract bees. I have discovered rabbits on my property that were not present before. I think I will need to plant extras just for them.

Getting ready to start mine soon. Now I think I'm 4 weeks behind.

Bummed out. Rabbits ate my cucumber plants last night. Time to start new seeds. Not sure how to stop them right now.

I haven't had that problem since a kid on the farm. Dogs and a .22 suppressed them. Predator urine might help. I have deer issues so I have to put up netting around the beds like I did yesterday when I transplanted my peas, lettuce, broccoli, and cauliflower from the cold frame. Re-potted the tomatoes and peppers but left then in the box since we saw 28F yesterday.

Its still pretty early but I'm gambling and started planting. First few tomatoes are in and I'm hardening off peppers and tomatoes.

Its strange looking at the frost tables then seeing its ~70 outside today.

Got some chicken wire and put up a small fence. If needed I will get more elaborate.
