Aw, shucks...
My back felt a lot better yesterday. Enough better that I was able to set the last six tomato plants after work. Soaker hose is down, ground cover is down, cages are up. I stuck the two cayenne pepper plants I bought in the ground while I was at it.
I’ve got a PT appointment this afternoon. If they’re not too hard on me I’ll set the rhubarb plants out and maybe get a piece of welded wire up for Mrs. Augie’s cucumbers after I get home.
I’ve got an asparagus question... the plants have been in the ground for 16 years. They aren’t in a great spot. Wait until they’ve gone dormant in the fall to dig and reset?
Asparagus doesn’t mind. You can move them in the Spring while they are still dormant (no spears poking up) as soon as the soil can be worked, or in the Fall after the green tops start dying back.
I would chose Spring over Fall, though. Our bed is pretty ratty - needs a major refresh, but I’m not looking forward to that task.
Here’s a pretty good primer on what to do:
