 The tomato gallons are flying out the door; gardeners are folks with hope in their hearts

for this fruit. Weather forecasts have been sayin' back to the normal NW spring and summer temperatures.

Garden soils are warm enough for planting according to Cliff Mass who says on

KPLU's Weather with Cliff Mass: "At least, for vegetable gardeners, the warmer temperatures that we've had over the past month raised soil temperatures, says Mass."
