Well the temps are on their way up and its time to get those summertime vegetables in the ground. Spring flowers are their full colors like my Amaryllis. I've had tomatoes in the ground for 3 weeks now and just planted my first crop of pole beans today. I like the old fashion pole beans over the bush varieties because I think they taste better along with being easier to pick and staying cleaner growing up off the ground. Kentucky Wonder is still my favorite variety for eating fresh and canning later. Strawberries are starting to come in and our asparagus is coming up with nice thick spears appearing everyday. You can find locally grown winter crops like cabbage, lettuce, turnips, and collards in the farm markets right now. It is time to plant sweet corn if you have the room along with cukes, peppers, eggplants, butterbeans, and melons. The blackberries are blooming and the blueberries already have a nice crop set on for our you-pick customers to enjoy later.
