Went from 60 and rain to 80?s here. Got about 18 tomato?s, half dozen basil (badly sun scalded), half dozen egg plant hardening off outside. Pumpkins, delicata, and giant sunflowers in pots (to germinate) on the picnic table. Going to try to shallow till the soil today so I can help it dry (in the am and PM).
Wednesday is going to be a high of 60 so the tomato?s will go in Tuesday evening.
Hail beat up the blueberry bloom but I must have 25 plants so it will be OK. My Apple grafts on the espalier look like they took. The ones on the Plums look like I brought in a virus so I cut them all off. The apricots on the existing stock I thought was going to be a win are dying with the trees (think I lost a peach also) because it has been so wet and cold. Our Gravenstien apple tree must have bloomed for a solid month so it should be a banner year for that tree as it hit every overlapping bloom from crabs to Kings.
