Frost - Replant

I took a chance planting my cucumbers, water melon and squash early and lost. I ended up replanting all three crops, because of the frost. It's still early and I'm taking a chance again. I hope the warm weather is here to stay. Strangely enough I lost my broccoli too, but my strawberry plant was not bothered at all.

Starting Indoor Seedlings

Indoor Seedlings
I started my indoor seedlings for transplant later outside. I started my Kale, Cauliflower and Peppers in Cow Pots. This month is going by fast, so I have to finish my Ollas for garden #3 and #4. My cucumbers, squash and water melon are already popping up in garden #2. I have to get some PVC pipe to start covering it at night to stop cutworms from invading. Garden #1 is really going good now. I can't wait till I can harvest some of the veggies. Yum!!
