Pull all the onions and potatoes much sooner than I wanted. Corn has tassels at 4' so hoping I can keep them watered to cob. I guess we each have to adapt.. and recently - adapt again.<br />BTW... thanks again to Patrice for keeping this site and updates. It is a wonderful site to stay tuned without too much "OMG - it the world as we knew it".

No rain but a couple of showers since the end of April. Even watering the garden doesn't come near the good that a slow rain does. We have actually already dug potatoes that were planted the last week of January and pulled the onions that were planted at the same time. We're wondering how much longer we will be picking cucumbers and squash. Spider mites are attacking the tomatoes, green beans and peas. Maybe a late garden in Idaho isn't so bad!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-59965243582733143022012-06-06T12:42:47.219-07:002012-06-06T12:42:47.219-07:00Bummer about the cold, Hope it stays above freezin...Bummer about the cold, Hope it stays above freezing for the gardens sake.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775363118892957212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-30405427042269765532012-06-06T11:40:42.025-07:002012-06-06T11:40:42.025-07:00That's okay, I was just reading MY POST and fo...That's okay, I was just reading MY POST and found two errors in it! That is what I get for not previewing before hitting "publish". Although, sometimes my brain "auto-corrects" errors so I miss them until I read it later. Of course, I do not have the edit option so the oops, will have to stay as a reminder to me to not get overly confident. <br />It should read, "I hope they can hold out until the end of June to be planted." "Lightening is what the sky does as the sun rises." There, I have chided myself. ;-}<br />PaintedmooseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-53435731103277855402012-06-06T11:03:23.416-07:002012-06-06T11:03:23.416-07:00Oops, thanks PM!

Now that is a beautiful deserted lake and it appears ya'll had a blast being out there. <br /><br />Potential Tornadoes! Oh my, now your getting some of our weather.

I have raised beds covered with their plastic over cattle panels and the corn (3" tall) is under plastic. The potatoes are just beginning to sprout. I have sweet potato slips in my laundry room and am going to try to collect old tires to plant them in since they really like the heat. I hope the can hold out until the end of June to be planted.<br />By the way, the spelling, or misspelling of lightning drives me crazy. Lightening is was the sky does as the sun rises. Lightning (no "e") is what flashes in the sky. :-) <br />It is just one of those things. Keep dry and warm.<br />God bless,<br />PaintedmooseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
