quits raining and warms up , maybe my garden would take off ! I guess I
shouldn't complain , we've started harvesting some lettuce and bok choy .
The tomatoes have recovered from the freeze that hit the night after I
planted them - well , the ones that survived . I had to replace 8 plants ,
but 4 of those would have survived if I'd left them alone . Patience might
be a virtue , but it ain't one of mine ... I replaced the dead/dying with
some Roma's at my wife's request , she wants to make ketchup or something .
That leaves 4 Rutgers and 7 Beefsteak , so we'll still have plenty for the
table and neighbors ... .
Everything else seems to be doing well , though slow because it's been
chilly and wet . Some of my corn is almost a foot tall , all my vine stuff
squashes and melons is sprouting , and for the first time I've got
strawberries to grow . We had a part-bag of taters , looked all wrinkled and
too ugly to eat so I planted them . Might be another first for me !
