The Plot Continues

Plot #3 needs another row of non cruciferous vegetables yet I don’t know what that is for the moment. While considering it, I plan to move over to Plot #1 and install the covered row next to the garlic. The garlic is standing more than 18 inches tall so it looks to be a great crop. I mowed that strip yesterday, so the garlic really stands out.

Ambient temperatures are expected to reach toward 90 degrees Fahrenheit this afternoon, so as soon as the sun rises, I’ll be back outdoors, taking advantage of early morning coolness. It is already 60 degrees at 5 a.m.

The tomatoes are toughening up in the greenhouse and should soon be ready to plant. I have a batch of tomato seeds I planted late to diversify the crop. They need to move from the starter tray into soil blocks today. There are also bell peppers needing transfer to blocks. After that, the indoors starting operation slows considerably.

I noticed more over wintering collards in one of the patches and today I expect to harvest them. There has been no shortage of leafy green vegetables this spring.

Working a five-hour shift on Friday wore me out. Partly it was ambient temperatures rising into the low eighties. Partly is was still an early foray into the garden when I am not conditioned to it. It’s going to be hot again today as the plot continues.
