Tomato and pepper planting this weekend. Here , in CNY, it’s not wise to plant much before traditional Memorial Day.

The lore or old wives tale here in Central Mississippi is that you do not plant until one month after the last Thunderstorm in Feb. A couple of Black ladies told me that while I was at our local Co-Op looking for plants in early March. I had never heard it before.

Well, I must have made the list. Thanks.

Traditionally for Western SD the last frost day is May 15th.

The weather as been so bad and cool that we are a whole week late. Hmmm, not so bad I guess. Bought four tomato and 4 pepper plants Wednesday and will get them in pots tomorrow.

All you have to do is watch the Accuweather long range forecast and take off a few degrees if you live much outside Syracuse.

I put mine in Monday. Channel 9 changed the forecast mid afternoon to mild frost for the north country. Had to scramble to cover. We dodged the bullet. Beans, lettuce, basil are up. sd
