Well, I am getting my vegetable garden just about in. I will be setting
my
bell peppers out this weekend. Convinced that morning temps will not fall
to
below 50 degrees. Don't want my peppers stunted at all. I have cucumbers
up
and growing , got my pinto beans in and all of my tomatoes. Just can't
hardly wait for all the fresh abundance in about another month or so. How
are the rest of you progressing? This is the best time of year for
gardening
, but so few posts. Just wondering.

Actually, the best time to vegetable garden is in the fall. I never
heard temps under 50 could stunt growth of peppers. That's funny!

I'm going to put my tomatoes in over the weekend, but I bought plants
this time to get a head start. I am also growing watermelon this year
and can hardly wait to eat my own juicy melon rather than whatever
crap they sell at the store for six dollars a piece.


Keep an eye on the birds. They ate 2 sets of watermelon seedlings to date.
Birds ignored many other new growth vegetables etc. This 3rd set looks like
it will be okay. They munch on 1st growth sunflowers as well, just not to
the point of plant death.
