The day I’ve been waiting for is tomorrow. The main season planting starts. Its been raining every other day for the past few weeks, so soil moisture is high. Its been warm and dry for the last few days, so the soil is perfect to be worked. I think the bulk of the cold weather is gone. The 10 day forecast is showing one night the low of 45 which is no problem. Tomorrow it will be in the 80’s and most days will be between 70 and 80. This is about the same date that I planted last year and I think the weather is a little better. I just start updating a lot more now that there will be something to talk about.

After getting about 7 inches or rain a week ago we got another inch on Friday. I’m afraid that all the rain rotted some of the potatoes and washed away some of the seedlings. Most of the seeds that I think got washed were early season varieties. I’m planning on replanting potatoes as soon as the ground dries out some.
I got the main seasons seeds in the mail this week and I expect planting to start for most things around March 16th depending on the weather and forecasts of course.
The tomatoes in the greenhouse are looking good so far and the peppers are just about to start coming up.
Things are starting to get busy around here and I plan and building the rows as soon as the ground allows.
