yet to plant--too much to list--my ole lady is bonkers

Dam weather here. I'd like to get more in. So far spuds, a row and a half of onions and a row of peas. Still to get planted, carrots, 'maters, green beans, beets, squash, cukes, maybe some rutebagas, peppers, cilantro, basil.

i see it's barely above freezing this morn in rapid---brrr

I haven't even torn our patch up....supposed to be a high of 28 wednesday with 80 percent chance of snow!
There is a part of our corral where the windbreak fell down gonna rip it up and plant some watermelons hopefully. Haven't plowed anything either its been too wet and just clods up.

those old pen areas make great garden spots

I wasn't gonna put anything in after the blight got the maters last year but my kid talked me into it. Just a few maters and peppers that's all. I might just do it if the phuckin weather straightens out. Frost the last 3 nights and more tonight. It was in the phuckin 80's 2 weeks ago.

I was going to build a little greenhouse and didn't get around to it. I still might, the ground isn't going to get warm enough to have maters before frost comes again in Sept.

jb--look into "cold frames"--small structure---old house windows make great lids
