it's the best time of year ain't it? :D
I still have alot to plant too. I'm gonna try some pole beans in big pots along my east fence. Think a 50 lb feed sack would be big enough?
They are only in 2 raised beds. Just so happens those are the ones I filled with Kellogg raised bed filler from home depot.
Makes me think they came in the soil.
I dusted with DE and ordered 3000 lady bugs from amazon. We will see how it goed

There were 10 or 20 of them attacking a small beetle while I was taking pics.

We learned the hard way last summer how important trellised are. I'm going to run some cattle panels and plant all the tomatoes on them this year. As well as trellis the cucumbers. We can vet alot more produce if we manage space a little better.
Wow that's alot of gardening! Do you sell produce? This will be our second year. Just trying to offset our grocery bill and eat less processed foods. With a wife and 4 kids the groceries can get a little high $$$$
