Now that we have our greenhouse bench clear, it's time to get going with the first planting of sweetcorn. These 33 pots will make up the first planting (1 40ft. row). We always do 3 plantings, each 2 weeks apart, so when these sprout and get big enough to plant out we will start the next, etc... If you want more info check out my toots from May and June in the last two years.

Looking at all the factors & taking the good with the bad, BeetBear has declared that today is tomato liberation day. We spent a busy morning planting out 12 Jet Star, 12 Moreton, and 2 Supersweet 100 tomato plants & getting the wire supports in place. We also delivered a cartload of tomato, green bell pepper, jalapeño, and eggplant plants to our neighbor. Our own peppers and eggplant will have to wait for another day to be planted out. We're "beet"

It looks increasingly probable that we will be able to plant out the tomatoes, peppers, etc. On or about May 13th. It depends if we want to get them in before or after the predicted rainfall on 13th - 14th. BeetBear is getting desperate to make room in the greenhouse to start the cucurbits and the first planting of sweetcorn! Watching the weather closely!

RE: https://toot.wales/@richrollgardener/114462734610259237

We spent some time this afternoon setting out some of the Apple Maggot Fly traps, in the hopes that we will actually have some apples this year. Trees are done blossoming and it LOOKS like some fruit is setting. Hoping for better weather during the June drop this year. Fingers crossed. Anyway here's my report from last year at this time.

BeetBear and I decided that today was "get out there and plant the beans! Day" Soil is up to 60F (~15C) and sun is shining. This is about an 8ft. (2.5meter) row with a jute trellis. Beans are Kentucky Blue which is a cross between Blue Lake and Kentucky Wonder. We like them and they are quite prolific.

We got the new trellis materials in place today. We're using a jute netting with 6 inch square openings tied to the old metal frame with garden twine. Now we'll be ready to plant the beans when the soil warms up some more. BeetBear says "Don't talk to me about jute netting ever again..."

OK, back to work. Since it's nearly apple-blossom time AND a nice day, we got busy and seeded up the "Pot-O-Carrots" for the season. It's a large planter, about 19 inches in diameter and 15 inches deep, holding about 12 gallons (43 liters) of potting mix. We use pelleted seed and plant in concentric circles with about ½ inch spacing. Pictures are an attempt to show what we do and what the scale is.

It was a cool, overcast morning and perfect conditions for BeetBear and I to clear out the cucumber patch. We managed three final cukes and everything else went to the compost pile, which, in a way, is another harvest, adding to the compost for next season. Next up: We've got to figure out where to store all those butternut squash! Now going to pick more raspberries. 😀

@Broadfork @gardening BeetBear woke up long enough to present me with 3 one-pound wedges of Stilton from Cropwell Bishop Creamery to cheer me up!
