My rhubarb is just starting to come up. Interesting thought of harvesting it early. It’s been putting energy into the roots. I should be able to take some and not hurt anything. I usually wait until June.
Added a second 4x10 hoop house for all the short growing bags. Tomatoes are getting strung up. I have 6 plants setting fruit. Some doubles may get yanked. How many tomatoes do I really need
It is a bit odd. Actually, Seattle is much further north. Long Island is around latitude 40ºN. Seattle is at 47.6ºN, which is north of Bangor, Maine. Odder still, Paris is a little further north of Seattle, more like the WA/Canada border.
Corn and squash plants are in the ground and looking good. The test tomatoes and peppers are doing well outside under cover too. We have a couple of cooler nights (41º) predicted so I will be planting the rest of the tomatoes under remay fabric next week. Baby carrots are sprouting and the broccoli is about 10" tall.
We'll be harvesting the outdoor crop of tatsoi tomorrow. It looks beautiful, but is starting to flower.

Lots and lots of peppers inside my house waiting to go outside. We usually wait until may 24 to plant outside so we're getting close. I have a few more seeds that I want to get going in the window sill also.
I set most of my tomatoes outside today in a remay tunnel. I have had two planted out there for the past 10 days and they're fine. The soil temperature is staying at or above 55º which is sufficient for them.
