Who's got one ? what are you growing ? and how's it coming along? Mine consists of sweet corn , cabbage , brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli ,cucumbers, zucchini, peas, tomatoes , peppers , acorn squash, pumpkins, and assorted spices. The cold wet weather hasn't been very conducive to good growth so far for me. But with warmer weather in the forecast things should turn out. I hope those of you growing fair better.

Sounds like alot of extra work starting beets inside. I just plant plenty of extra seed and then thin like carrots just spaced alitl more. The seeds are big enough you could soak overnight. Carpio you could prob up a board or piece of cardboard to shade the plant those middle of the day hours. When I transplant tomatoes pepper or lettuce and it gets to hot and starts drooping ill set 2 buckets with a 2x10 so the plants are in the shade line for 2 days or as little as a few hrs till they perk up.
I'm still on pace to plant most of my peppers and tomatoes memorial day weekend or the week after. I'm in no hurry to get them in the ground. Cukes and zukes I started indoors a week ago and they'll get planted outside about the same time as the tomatoes and peppers.
