Thanks. It’s looking good for now. It’s iffy about some potential frosts. Our last day of frost is between May 15 and Memorial day, although frosts have caught us later.

If we can get through the next month, that’ll be great, because July/August usually tends to be pretty dry and there’s no guarantees. An early crop would be great.

My garden is not huge, BTW, but the resources around us are good.

That is a plus.

You may want to think about starting a fall and winter garden this year, as this food shortage is not going away.

In fact, as we stock up and grow more careful with our storage food, there will be more food bought, then if they had not talked of a shortage.

Nothing is grown in my area. Or for a hundred miles or more.

Planting a garden does not work as the wind keep all the mulch and compost blown away.

That is the reason that I had the greenhouses, a smallish solar onw attached to the house is a blessing for year around growth.

It is playing the hot and cold game here too.
