Our vegetables are all in.

It happened when our 25 Mesabi strawberry plants arrived just before last weekend. They look healthy.

The sweet potatoes look, um, not good. I put down landscape fabric to heat the soil a month ago, cut holes in the fabric and put the planted sweet potatoes in the holes. Nothing is happening.

But my row covers are all over the vegetable garden, and the tomatoes, peppers, squash, watermelon, cucumbers and such are looking good. The peas are climbing their fences.

We now have plenty of rain.

I have earliglow strawberries that will begin ripening over the weekend if we have the 80 and 90 degree days that are forecast

And I am on vacation for a week – a few days fishing but mostly staying home. I will check in again June 16 or so.
