April Showers....YOU'RE LATE!!!

A few days ago we had a freeze which drove home the "He who plants first, plants twice" maxim of waiting until your last average frost date to put the majority of your cold sensitive crops out. Luckily the only thing I had at risk were two types of bean, the Soy and French String beans. The Soy are the only ones that made it and most likely only because I had some row cover over them. After that freeze hit we've been under a steady barrage of rain showers which has kept me mostly out of the fields. Instead I spend the time packing the germination chamber as full of 10x20 trays full of herb and tomato seedlings as I can and helping Kristie unpack and set up our new house in the Blawnox/Fox Chapel area. Someday this rain will end, and when it does I'll be waiting...
