Not much going on around here. Had some family medical drama so was late getting started with tomatoes, we’ll see if I actually get any tomatoes from those. Bastardi has predicted a hot summer for a while now so we’re going to focus on okra, blackeyed peas, lima beans, the long asian bean thingies and sweet potatoes. Also some rice, tef and sorghum.
Incidentally, Sand Hill has bimonthly specials now and sweet potatoes are on sale right now along with peppers and tomatoes.

Thanks for the link, I’ll have to check it out. By the way, with respect to the peach tree for zone 4 - we found the information. It was Intrepid and a dwarf. Hubby reports that it’s really doing great.
When we had the big recent frost, the other peach trees were all in bloom, but the intrepid had barely started to bud. So I’m really encouraged by that. It’s been a big issue with peaches here-frost kills the production 4/5 of the time.
A hot summer? How awful. Last summer was unseasonably hot around here. I’d like to see a normal summer! We moved here partly to get away from the heat. And the liberals. At least that part worked :)
