We’ll be starting to put in our summer veggie seedlings over the several work parties. With nighttime temperatures finally staying above 10 degrees, and higher; these are now at reasonable levels for our tender heat loving vegetables. We will start with tomatoes and squash on June 1st, then plant zucchini, cucumbers, and basil over the following weeks.
Vegetables that thrive in cooler weather, such as peas, lettuce and other leafy greens and root crops are finally starting to put on growth.
We are still going to wait a couple of weeks to direct seed our beans, since beans need minimum nighttime temperatures of 15 degrees to ensure good germination rates.
These zucchini plants can hardly wait, they are already starting to grow flowers and you can see tiny zucchini’s starting to form.
Thank you to Urban Roots for the amazing donation of the plants!
