Got my spring garden in late this year because things were so cold and wet in the Philly area. But the taters are looking good now, along with the usual spring crops (onions, beets, chard, peas, greens, leeks and lettuce), other than the Bok Choy, which, for some reason, only had one seed germinate (looks kinda lonely by itself). The green beans look a bit munched, I think a rabbit is getting them. Got 6 varieties of tomato, 4 of peppers (might put in a couple more, summer and winter squash, tomatillos, limas, okra, cukes, watermelon, corn and herbs. Got some good rain last night and some more is forecast this afternoon with passing thunderstorms (stay away, hail!) and a nice weekend to work in the garden - mid-seventies and low humidity.

Here along the Yukon, we just put tatoes in, 350 lb this year. Got carotts, beans, and brocculli in. Had a lght frost this morn, but didn’t hurt anything. About every other summer, we get a hard frost (20 degrees) around mid july, lose alot of tatoes; but keep at it. Alot different than back east in Pa. We do cukes in our greenhouse, miss the tomatoes alot.
