I'm going to plant the seedlings this weekend, hardening them all this week. They don't get enough sunlight in the house so I will need to get them outside as fast as I can.
I have Tomato Plants, zukes, cukes, green and red peppers, and going to direct sow some greens under the zuke and cuke trellis. Will see how this goes for a first time ever in the new house. Already got the mulch and soil in the raised beds, and lightly covered with grass clippings to keep in the moisture.

Planted today:
Green beans, snow peas, snap peas, roma and cherry tomatoes, Red and green bell peppers, jalepenos, chilis, green onions, carrots and strawberries. I'm pretty sure I over-planted it. we'll see. We also have basil, rosemary, sage, cilantro, and mint growing in planters.

Burn up from too much sun? This garden box get between 5-8 hours of direct sun every day, mostly in the evening. I'll be sure to update in 2-3 months when things are popped up and ready for picking. This is a big science experiment for me... I'll be happy with any sort of result.![]()

The hail last night and the late frost last week pretty much destroyed 2/3 of every fruit that was developing on all my trees. I still haven't gotten to the garden center with samples for ID yet, but this year I am really disappointed already. I have 7 fruit trees of somekind (Plum, pear, and some other ones) and I am hoping they develop into something so I can get a real good ID on them this year.
That really sucks.I'm setting up a tarp that I can throw over my garden to keep the hail and frost away. It will attach to the ledge around the garden and hopefully the wind won't blow it off. We have an ornamental pear tree that got destroyed by the frost 2 weeks ago. It was looking soooo healthy, and now all the leaves curled up and died.
This is a really harsh environment to try to grow anything.
