It was chilly and cloudy today. The high temperature was in the low 60's, but in spite of that, Jim tilled the whole garden, weeding the potatoes and peas, and finished planting the garden except the winter squash, which we will wait on for a bit, to reduce the bug damage.
So, we now have beans, three more rows of sweet corn, for a total of 8, okra, cucumbers (the ones we started from seed and transplanted didn't make it), summer squash, and a yellow tomato added to the earlier planting.
I think if we try the cucumbers from seed again, we need to cover the seedlings when we put them in the garden.
A few days ago we had frost. Not a killing frost, but enough to burn my coffee trees in my mini garden. They aren't supposed to see 40 degrees. That was disappointing, it spoils the looks of the garden, and it was so nice before. I'll wait awhile to see how they grow before I attempt any pruning.
