when are you sowing your garden 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.

I am beginning to learn that, I also haven't even gotten to the point to see if there are any pests in the earea that will pick off the remaining fruit. I might have to research maybe some netting or something. I am into canning and preserving so I would love to keep myself busy this summer with that.

Good news is the Hops did well through the frost issues and hail! Only one Hops plant stunted a little, the rest are all climbing the trellis. Potatoes got a little black but I think they will pull through.

Grape vines/raspberries/blackberries/strawberries/walking onions seem unaffected. However all the stalks of new Asparagus are pulverized.
