Not so good news on the garden. This NE Mn weather is just not meant to plant early! Still getting the occasional frost, and with all the rain and cool temps I've lost some of my tomaters, and squash... not all, but enough babies to make me growl!
The Tribal natives are telling me this may be one of those years of no real summer! Hope they are wrong but so far all that they have shared with this adopted white man has been dead on! I've noticed the large farms here are just now getting some green shoots coming up! Going to have to intro myself to them and get some more info on this area 4 gardening!
Big changes here at our "gulch"! Was going to build a big storage building with guest accommodation and art shop for my bride after we were turned down for that FEMA trailer... However, we ran into a super deal on a log cabin style manufactured house that we just couldn't pass up! The new plan is to move that behind the current residence, closer to the forest line and use our home base into the uses we had planned for that building. will sub the foundation out and do the rest ourselves!
This plan will save me mucho time, and allow more time to upgrade my main shop and other plans I am doing for grins and giggles, especially the greenhouse and animal barn!
Hey DW, you are way ahead of me with the taters! If this rain lets up, these beauties go in this week, along with the onion slips...
You will love your log house, my sister did.
Check for the local Farm Extension office, they should have a list of the frost dates for your area.
LOL, not that they will help that much, as last year we had snow here in April.
It is a cool summer here also, I have not needed the cooler for several days and am sitting here now, fully clothed with a lap robe, it is chilly........and i live in the desert.
It can mean a longer fall.
They say if the summer is super hot, the winter will be extra cold.
I could do with both being moderate.
I think of all that you are doing and don’t know if you should rejoice or find a shade tree and rest.
Take it easy and do not over do it, that won’t help.
I would love to do what you are doing, good for you.
Prayers for you and your lovely wife, that you will always be safe and happy.
