    I learned the hard way Id always try to sneak in around mothersday and got burned a couple times by a late may frost lost every thing but garlic and oinions. Radish and lettuces can go in soon.

    We had a very late frost in June here about 7-8 years ago. Everything was planted it was a real rush to cover right at 80 plants. We only lost one. If you want to try to sneak something in early I highly recommend a product called "Wall O Water" It is made of plastic and has cells that you fill with water. It not only protects from frost but it helps keep the plant warmer for added growth. Click image for larger version.

    Yeah, Around here, Memorial Day is planting time. You can start seed earlier in seed starters or greenhouses.

    Looking Good, Slippy!

    Last fall, Thanksgiving week, I planted a peach tree, an almond tree and three apple trees. I did not expect anything from them for at least 3-4 years, as they are all only about 4 feet tall. All of them are just absolutely loaded with fruit!

    At one point the almond tree had over 20 almonds started on it! Then we had a bad wind storm and lost all of them but about 4. Even so, I am thinking it might give us a few more later in the spring.

    This fall, Mrs Inor wants to plant one or two pear trees and one or two apricot trees.
