So, how is your garden growing? This spring has been brutal here. Mostly too cloudy, cold, and windy to want to be outside, with a few 70 degree teaser days just to piss you of when the clouds roll back in and the temp drops the next day.
But the past 3 days have been pretty good. It's late in the season and the pressure is on to get going. I've been outside most of the day for three days and my face is sunburned. Life is good!!
Finally got our onions out Wednesday (two rows in the forground). The garlic is 2 feet tall and doing great (next two rows). Strawberries are in bloom and we've been eating and canning asparagus for two weeks.
I planted next year's strawberry bed this afternoon.
This morning I did the first tilling of the area where I'll be planting tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, peppers, and corn. This is my trusty Kubota with the tiller and redneck home made "land plane" for leveling the soil. It's a 2x6 bolted to the bucket.
We moved the chickens from their winter quarters to their summer palace a couple of weeks ago. Today I moved their run so it included the freshly tilled garden. For a chicken, freshly tilled soil is like an all you can eat buffet of bugs and worms - Vegas Baby!! They're loving it!!
My tomato plants are a foot tall and beginning to set blossoms they NEED to get outside and soon. The weather report has no temps below 45 at night for the next two weeks. I think tomorrow may be the day I set them free.
