Precious Cargo
The last week of May marks the, (hopefully) last chance for killing frost.
The early, cool weather crops like peas, lettuce, spinach, etc. are already in the ground. Now it's time for the more sensitive summer goodies to be planted. In the photo above, Richard pulls a nursery wagon filled with 240 carefully tended tomato plants towards the vegetable beds . Peppers, cukes, and the full summer roundup are not far behind.
