Memorial Day Planting At Last

Chile Peppers and Tomatoes

Cold Frame/Plant nursery
Memorial Day has always been the benchmark for planting the garden. In the northeast kingdom, zone 3, that can be iffy. I took a chance this year. The plants were ready to go in, the irrigation system was connected (see black tubes going to each tub) and the weather finally warmed up nicely. The containers were mixed up with soil amendments and then planted. This summer the theme is Chile Peppers, growing and preserving.  They were slow to sprout and grow in the house, but they took nicely to the warm greenhouse today. They should be happy in such a hot place for the summer.
