ONGOING ........

As you know, the weekend provided us with more beautiful weather.   We were able to keep putting down mulch in the Bella Garden.  This is where the majority of tomatoes will be housed.  In two weeks (May 1) we will do one 100' row and use a floating row cover to protect them to try and get a jump start on the growing season.  We have two early varieties,  Stupice and Oregon Spring, and potentially some Black Krims.  It is a gamble planting that early.  The elevation that our gardens lay at and the proximity to our creek creates a much colder environment than even by our house.  We are quite often 10 to 15 degrees colder than what is recorded at the Red  Wing airport.
