Well, it's finally time in the north woods to start planting the summer crops.  We had a pretty good frost yesterday morning and I'm hoping it's the last of the year.  I spent yesterday afternoon planting and if the rains hold off today I can get the rest of the tomatoes and peppers in.

    It has been a long time for the warm weather to get into Montana this spring. Made canopies for all the Raised Garden Beds got one sprinkler system done.

    Nice looking system!  You can't beat a raised bed with hoophouse and sprikler system.

    We three more Raised Garden Beds yet to make first need to get the watering system for the other two.
    It was just a few days ago that we was able to lift the curtains because it was still getting down into the low 40s.

Out here on the west coast of B.C. we had the longest coldest winter on record.  It played havoc with everything.  Only in the last few weeks have we been getting summer weather, and at that it is still a good 10ºF cooler than normal. What sorts of veggies are you able to grow with that great raised bed setup you have there?
