Planting the usual. Ben eating Asparagus for 2 weeks kind of sick of it now.Well worth the effort. I go with all heirloom tomatoes, ugly but the best flavor. I don't put any heat loving plants in before Memorial day. I've found they don't do much till at least then because of the soil temp. and you can run in to root rot if you get too much cold rain. I start all my own seeds indoors so I put pretty big seedlings in so I am along pretty far as soon as planting time comes. Bumin' because I have lost a lot of my blueberry buds to the damn winter moth catapillers. I will have to spray much sooner next year. Compost everything, all kitchen scraps and leaves and some grass. The best soil amendment available. Most town dumps offer it for free nowadays. P
