Side Notes:

    We had a killing frost on Monday night, June 8.  We covered the plants, but the tomatoes just couldn't handle the low 21 degrees.  They took a hit.  We gave them 12-12-12 fertilizer  and a good soaking with the hose.  They are coming back out, but that means  a loss of time in producing fruit during their life span.  The Strawberries  seem to be doing well, and some even have berries.  We are feeding them every week (8-58-9 fertilizer).  And providing regular water (every day).    The Garlic is in its final stages and should be ready to harvest early July.  The Corn is up.  The flowers, esp. the snapdragons have been hit by  hungry caterpillars.  We put most everything under  wind protection.   We are keeping barrels filled with compost out on the side walk by the parking lot for your use.  When they get empty, I'll fill them back up.  Hope to see you at our first class.
