May 15 Garden update

All planted but one square, and I'm deciding what to put in it.  I also have one small portable box that is empty.  Here's some pics of what I have so far, except for the planter I made that has my bush beans.  They haven't sprouted yet.  Also, I don't have a pic yet of the third grow box, because not much is showing in it yet either.  I will post pics of them when they are growing.

I'm pretty excited about getting some good fresh veggies this year.  Especially tomatoes.  I have 9 tomato plants of about 5 different varieties.  Yumm!

It got below freezing last night

It got down to 30 degrees.  I knew it was going to, so I covered my tomatoes.  I put small plastic trash cans and jugs over them and then covered them with blankets.  It seemed to work.  When I took the blankets and covers off they all seemed to be fine.  I have six tomato plants right now with plans for a couple more.

Hopefully that will be the last frost this spring.  Our normal safe day for no more frosts is May 10, which is only 8 days away.  Global Warming should at least give me a week, or what good is it?  All the worry about it ain't worth spit if you can't plant a week early.  I should have taken photos of my covering method.

We are leaving for Utah tomorrow and won't be back until next Wednesday.  I have asked Jennifer to keep my garden watered while we are gone.  I'd hate to have anything die out.
