VEGETABLE GARDEN TIME

As the spring bulbs continue to spring, the vegetable gardens across the country are starting to emerge. The rule of thumb is to wait for the Victoria Day weekend. Sometimes enthusiastic gardeners may plant earlier but take their chances of the frost potential. This year with the cold weather and cold ground it has been difficult to plant earlier. One year I planted two rows of beans at the beginning of May with cold temperatures. The beans I planted the end of May emerged at the same time as the earlier ones. So planting when the conditions are right, is the best method. Of course, the farmers plant ample vegetables across the country. There are always lots of vegetable stands to buy fresh veggies throughout the season. Adolph, being Italian born, must have a few tomatoe plants in the backyard! It also keeps him out of trouble if he has some work to do! Do you have a vegetable patch? Are you one of our farmers that keeps food on our tables?
