Time for a Change - Mortblanc - 4 April 2018
I got nothing here, I was just sick of seeing a post about dope every time I scrolled down the forum list.
It is almost time for planting here though.
I think I will do a bit more this year. A dozen tomato plants and a couple of rows of okra should do the job nicely.
I might do a patch of kale and another of turnips too.
Of course all this means I have to get the roto-tiller out and service it too. That will be a days work all by itself.

When the threat of snow subsides I will get busy.
We have a winter advisory for the whole weekend with snow and sleet expected tomorrow.
No planting around here for another month and with our spring storms going on there is no way a polytunnel would survive for a full week. Two nights ago we had 60kph wind gusts for the whole night.
So no start ups and transfers around here. You plant in May and get your harvest when it arrives.
