Tracy:

I read his blog every week.  I would love to meet that guy.  I bet he has
some wonderful stories to tell.

Hi Nella.
Yep, very strange spring!
My lawn is growing like crazy, too.  Did you read The Contrary Farmer's blog
about lawn hay?  He said that, if everyone in America harvested their lawn
for hay, we wouldn't need to feed grain to livestock.  I'm in!  Where do I
sign up?
BTW, his latest blog was about raw milk, so I thought of you.
Tracy

Tracy, it has been unseasonably cool here.  My greens and chives are looking
great.  The tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are growing in slow motion.  Most
of the herbs are looking good and some of the flowers.  The cucumbers and
cantaloupe are very small.

We have been getting rain off and on, nice rains, not floods.  The pasture
is growing nicely, so that is good.  It has been a very strange spring so
far.

We are having weird weather this spring.  It's hot for a couple days, then
regular spring weather, then down to around 40 degrees at night.  I haven't
been able to plant my warm-weather plants like tomatoes, eggplants, and
marigolds, because it's still too cold.  Usually I've put them out about 3
weeks ago.  I have beautiful tomato plants, but I don't know if I'll get
much fruit, because everything is so delayed.  I'm hopeful that I can put
them in next week.  Zoicks, practically Memorial Day!  That's tomato
planting time in Montana, not New Jersey!

 

On the other hand, my rhubarb is doing well, and I'm going to harvest the
first oregano crop today, possibly.  And the berries are all in
bloom-strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.  Love fresh berries!

Tracy
