It's now the third week of May. We've brought out new starts that include:

Basil: Italian plus several more varieties

Beans, several varieties

Broccoli

Cabbage, red or green

Chard

Corn, yellow, bi-color

Cucumbers: pickle, lemon, oriental, slicers

Dill

Lettuces

Onions, walla walla

Parsley, Italian

Peas, shelling, snow, snap

Spinach

Summer Squash, crookneck or zephyr

Tomatoes in gallons (bye, bye those little guys, they're growing!)

Winter Squash: acorn, honeyboat, sunshine

Zuchinni

It unbelievable but the leeks are sold out!

 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."
