Weather:

 I am thinking it is summer all ready,  81° today. The low tonight is supposed to be around 41°.  They are predicting possible thunderstorms and colder temperatures for the weekend.

Plantings:

 So with the nice weather in mind, I planted my six cucumber plants this evening.  Hope that they do well as I keep reading cucumbers do not transplant well.  They sell them at the nursery in plastic pots for transplant so hopefully they will do well.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Activities:

Watered and worked on my little project out by the barn… more to come. 

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

My spinach and lettuce have started to grow a little faster.  My spinach has been in the ground for 38 days it should be ready to pick in another couple of weeks. 

The strawberry plants are coming along well.  I have noticed that there are a few more asparagus poking up.  Don’t think I will have enough to eat this year but with luck maybe next year.
