Great post JADB! Tomatoes are what I focus my garden on and this is good info! We are now in Marshall, Tx and got that same gully washer you got last night. That front really dropped the temps here too. We were at 75 yesterday and in the fifties today. I have located a fairly sunny spot for my garden and should get plenty of morning and early afternoon sun. The property we are on has 21 pine trees on it and shade is a big problem but might be a blessing if we get a hot summer with little rain.

We picked up our rental truck Tuesday morning and started packing and finished Wed at noon. Then drove the 362 miles to Marshall. We arrived here at 8pm. Started unpacking the truck yesterday and finished up just before those big rains blew through here. We just got back from turning the truck in over in Longview. We are a couple of tired puppies.

Thank you, Red! Tomatoes and peppers will both thrive with some mid-day shade. My tomatoes nearest the shed with some shade from a huge hackberry tree always fare better than those out in the sun all day.

Y'all get some rest and stay in touch as you get all settled in. What does Cashmere think of her new home?

Glad to hear that you got your stuff moved safely. Getting “unboxed” and organized was a huge chore for us and we still cannot find some things.
