We’re only 4 days away from the average date of the last frost. That means in a couple of weeks the warm weather crops like tomatoes and peppers can go in the ground. Once they’re planted along with a few others like herbs, beans, peas, egg plant and ground cherry the work of the garden and orchard shifts to nurture.

Then we weed, drench the soil, spray with the International Ag Labs products, watch for bugs, thin. This year will be first with a full program for the orchard, so much of the work there will be new.
