Pinging the list.

[Just mythoughts]

Thanks for the ping. I am taking the day off after weeks of something gardening. My strawberries in majority rotted from all the rain I did not get last year. Only a little more than 10 gallon picked.

Corn is up, the soil was dry enough finally to get its first tilling. I got my first two pickings of snow peas past couple of days... hmmm steamed with onions... meal all by them self.

All I will say, even though I should have planted rice this spring, I prefer the wet green to the dead brown.

Question for the tomato gurus:

I decided to plant tomatoes from seed this year using only heirloom varieties. I've got Abe Lincolns, Boxcar Willies, Big Rainbow, and Rutgers plants. All of them have come down with some malady where their leaves curl up and become deformed. Any suggestions? Should I pull them up and start over with some typical hybrid varieties that are disease resistant? Or will they eventually sort themselves out.

Inch of rain this week!

Hauled 3 trailer loads of brush to the town brush pile; one to go...and less each year.

I now have 25-30 “rescued” asparagus seedlings going in as soon as I finish posting.

So far, everything is up & growing; have more corn, pumpkins, carrots, and radishes to plant.

Busy time; have to go: doctor shot this morning; Flag Day ceremony at State Veterans Home at 6; street BBQ & revival at 8.
