here in the north country, where it was 59 in the house the other day, the temps have suddenly turned up into the high 80's and so far in our garden we've enjoyed loose leaf lettuce and fresh dill and a little onion planted LAST year but just came up this year....
fresh dill in a salad is outstanding...
tomatoes coming a long...hops are growing...had a few strawberries and raspberries, and the bluberries are getting there...
We start our winter squash in those cardboard drink holder thingies in early April. Hubby gets them from the break room at work over the course of the year. Just put a cupcake liner in each drink hole and fill with potting soil. Voila, ‘free’ peat pots. Use kitchen shears to separate them when you get ready to plant and make sure you cover the edges with soil completely so it doesn’t wick moisture away from your seedlings when you transplant them.
Dill is delicious. Lettuce is long gone here but second season planting dates are approaching. Fall Chinese cabbage and lettuce is delicious!
LOL, our lows have been in the mid/upper 70’s for the past couple of weeks. High of 96 or 97 one day last week.
