Friday it is supposed to reach 50°F and warm up a little more in the next days. Got me to thinking about what to put in the garden this year. With a little help from Son will move the cucumber and bean trellises. They have been in the same place for four or five years. I rotated the beans and cucumbers each year.
Biggest problem is downy mildew on my grapes. Mildew also decimated my peas the second year of planting. Probably won't plant peas again. I'll need to cut back on some work this year. Considering layering green saw dust under and around the grapes. Prevent mildew spores from splashing up onto the plants. The fermenting saw dust might also kill or set back the spores in the soil.
Are you in the planning stage for garden crops, disease, and pest control?
