Man I thought I was late this time.
My timing was off for spring mud season.

Nope, not late, everybody knows you can plant near till the end of June and still get a garden. My folks and theirs, have did it up here for over 100 years.

Rule of thumb here is after full moon in May is usually safe.
Twice I got froze out in my life from not heeding.
I need to return to Fall soil prep. We go from mud to heat in Spring.

10th of June here, unless a full moon is before that. You are usually safe after that.

Wow, sweet setup trapper les!

Wife and I just got our tomatoes peppers, and cucumbers put in the ground last night.

Yes, slow everywhere in the northern tier, had frost here a few nights ago, several nights in a row south of town.

I always plant t a late garden.
When I was growing up everyone did.

The early garden was for eating out of and the late garden was for canning.

Th reason was it was usually cooler when the lthe garden came on so it was more comfortable to can cause it wasn't as hot in the kitchen

Late gardens are almost a thing of the past.

Been wanting to plant garlic, does it carry over if you don't pull it all?

Very nice Trapper Les! Thank you for sharing gave me some ideas

I harvest in August, late, let it dry a bit, and break your finest looking bulbs into cloves and poke them into a hill row on the first of October. Every year...about the nicest 5th of your crop as bulbs have 4 to 5 cloves per bulb. Plant earlier in the north, like me, later farther south. You dont want them poking through the soil in the fall trying to grow.

Holay!! Just has the nicest fanciest gardening tools a man can think of!!

Looks great! Makes me want to walk across it lol.

We finally received some rain! We had about .5 inches in two weeks. Got 1.5 inches in a soaking 16 hour rain, just right. Gardens moving well We were up at our northern cottage Saturday about 80 miles south of Ashland and it was 42 on on Friday AM and 37 on Saturday AM. Cool, windy and clear skies sure shot the fish down!

Looking good. I am at about that stage too Les. A buddy of mine transplanted 51 tomato plants on the first and they froze hard enough to turn the tops black a couple days later. Mine are still inside.

been getting a bunch of rain here

I may have to try your parsnip broadcast seeding and give that a try

I have my tomatoes in and they are about a foot now , cabbage is looking good , beans and that I direct seeded are up

I have more onions to get in yet

looking good there Les

Looks good Les. Sure could use some of that nice dirt here. We got either slimy red mud or baked brick hard.

I really wish I could blow these mosquitos into a different state, I havent seen them this thick for a while.

Oh no memory loss from year to year is not good
2 seasons of drought the spring mosquito species did not hatch, so we have a 3 season worth this year.

Mosquitoes aren’t actually that bad considering. Seen worse years. They are 3x bigger though.
