Wednesday, April 25 - It seems I have spending much of my time checking the weather channel to see when I will begin planting my vegetables. This season, I have wanted to plant my vegetables more than ever and I am hoping the weather will cooperate so I may begin soon.
We are having typical Spring weather here in South Jersey. Days have been averaging highs in the 60's and the low's have been in the high 30's. In fact, last evening a colleague and I were talking to see if we received the anticipated frost and luckily we had not.
After work today I weeded my cool crops. I am planning to spend time this weekend stringing out my garden to see where I will be planting. I have already decided how to rotate my crops and I am interested to see with this years setup, if this will help eliminate the tomato blight I had last year. Also, we are ready to begin picking the red and green leaf lettuce we planted a few weeks ago. I am looking forward to having fresh greens from the garden over the next few weeks.
I did walk over to see one of my neighbors this evening. I always enjoy our visits and particularly enjoy discussing their garden, especially since they enlarged their plot for this year.
I am asking all my friends to "think warm evenings" so the frost will stay away. Hopefully if this occurs we will be able to plant soon.
