I usually make the obligatory opening season tomato sammich to use the very first one.
I dug up about 3.5 pounds of yukon gold yesterday from a small 4x8 ish area where I planted potatoes. I have red potatoes on either side that went in a month after the yukon gold. I think they might have done better in a sunny spot. That area only gets a few mild hours in the morning. I have very few all day sunny spots and I have to save those for peppers and tomatoes and whatnot.
Collard greens are starting to get big enough to pick. I had one or two plants that were started early now the rest of them are catching up.
I made tomatillo salsa last month and one of them was kind of sorry so I sliced it, dried it and planted it. They are in a really big pot now(they spread everywhere I hear)and almost a foot tall.
I should probably start more cilantro in a shady area all of mine is fixing to bolt.
This is the first year I’ve had to put any type of netting out.
For years, I’ve been saving the little nets that garlic comes in. I use thise to catch lint in the washing machine drain hose.
I also save the big bags from citrus and onions just in case.
I cut them open and pinned them onto my little starter trays with clothespins and I have some covering my little row of radish seedlings because the birbs are numerous and snatching up anything tender they can grab in their little beaks.
Once things get big enough, they seem to leave them alone though. They really liked the tomatillo and lettuce sprouts.
