In the field
We got spoiled a bit ago with some mega warm temps. Now we find ourselves more seasonally cool with a chance of frost this weekend. And even with the new moon on June 2nd, another bout of frost could happen as well. This is why we are holding off on field planting all our tenders, like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers etc. Our cool loving crops like our peas, lettuces, onions, kale, chard, spinach will all hold their own if the frost hit. We will take precautions and cover our zucchini though, just to be on the safe side! The above pic is Ben cultivating the peas. We have hoed the onions and all these other spring crops twice now! We have irrigated all the early crops too, as it was getting dry. That hot weather spurred zillions of tiny weeds to emerge! We are on top of it!
